Plains K-12

The Plains K-12 district in Montana consists of three schools: Plains Elementary School, Plains High School, and Plains 7-8 (a middle school). The data reveals that Plains Elementary School is the standout performer, maintaining a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years and ranking 84 out of 332 Montana elementary schools. In contrast, Plains High School has the lowest ranking and rating among the three schools, ranking 89 out of 124 Montana high schools with a 1-star rating.

Across the district, the student populations are predominantly white, ranging from 89.13% to 95.59%, with relatively low percentages of minority students. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to consider addressing, as diversity can contribute to a more well-rounded educational experience for students. Additionally, the data does not provide information on the free/reduced lunch rates, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations and potential equity concerns.

Overall, the Plains K-12 district appears to have a strong-performing elementary school, but the high school may be an area of focus for improvement. The district could also benefit from further analysis of student demographics and socioeconomic factors to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
