Wolf Point Elementary

The Wolf Point Elementary district in Montana consists of three schools: one elementary school (Southside School) and two middle schools (Northside School and Wolf Point 7-8). The district as a whole is ranked 280 out of 300 in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education compared to other schools in Montana.

The schools in the Wolf Point Elementary district have a high percentage of Native American students, ranging from 77.42% to 80.93%, and a low percentage of white and other minority students. This lack of diversity suggests that the district may be facing unique challenges, such as socioeconomic factors or cultural differences, that are impacting student achievement. Additionally, the schools have consistently low statewide rankings, with Southside School and Wolf Point 7-8 ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective school types.

Despite the low statewide rankings, the Wolf Point Elementary district is spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $12,077 to $12,524 per student. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the factors contributing to the poor academic performance. The district also has relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.9 to 13.1 students per teacher, which suggests that the challenges faced by the schools may be more complex than just resource allocation or staffing.
