West Yellowstone K-12

The West Yellowstone K-12 district in Montana operates three schools: West Yellowstone School (elementary), West Yellowstone High School, and West Yellowstone 6-8 (middle school). While the district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic enrollment, the schools have consistently low state-wide rankings and ratings, indicating they are underperforming compared to other schools in Montana.

The data shows that all three West Yellowstone K-12 schools have relatively small student enrollments, ranging from 65 students at the middle school to 141 students at the elementary school. The schools also have similar student-to-teacher ratios, around 15 students per teacher. However, the district's spending per student is consistent across all three schools at $9,581 per student, which is an interesting data point that warrants further investigation.

The most concerning finding is the declining performance of West Yellowstone School and West Yellowstone High School, both of which have dropped in their state-wide rankings and ratings in recent years. This trend suggests that the West Yellowstone K-12 district may need to implement strategic interventions to improve student outcomes and provide a higher-quality education to its diverse student population.
