Power Elementary

The Power Elementary district in Montana is home to two schools: Power School, an elementary school, and Power 7-8, a middle school. While Power 7-8 has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 15% of Montana middle schools for the past three years, Power School has experienced a significant decline in its performance ranking, dropping from 24th out of 356 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 136th out of 332 in 2022-2023.

Power 7-8 Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. With a small enrollment of only 20 students, the school may offer a more personalized learning environment. In contrast, Power School Elementary has a notable Native American student population, comprising 10.77% of the student body, well above the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 8.4 suggests a potentially more individualized approach to learning.

Both schools in the Power Elementary district have diverse student populations, with Power 7-8 Middle School serving a mix of white, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students. The small school sizes, with Power School at 65 students and Power 7-8 at 20 students, may present both opportunities and challenges in terms of resource allocation and extracurricular offerings. Unfortunately, the lack of free/reduced lunch data for both schools makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations and how that may impact their educational experiences and outcomes.
