Summary:
The data provided focuses on a single elementary school, Swan River School, which is part of the Swan River Elementary District in Bigfork, Montana. This public school serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 112 students, with a student population that is predominantly White (93.75%).
Academically, Swan River School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 240 out of 332 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 274 out of 356 in 2020-2021. Its proficiency rates on Montana state tests are also significantly lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics (22.81% proficiency compared to 36.59% statewide). This suggests the school may be struggling academically and could benefit from targeted interventions or support.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $9,163 and a small student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the school's population and how it may be impacting academic outcomes. Additionally, the absence of information on student engagement, teacher quality, and school climate limits the ability to fully understand the school's strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement.
