Summary:
The Woodman Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools: Woodman School, an elementary school, and Woodman 7-8, a middle school. While the elementary school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating, the middle school maintains a 100% white student population, which is notably different from the more diverse 91.49% white student makeup at the elementary school.
Woodman School has 47 students, while Woodman 7-8 has only 8 students. Both schools have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with Woodman School at 9.6 and Woodman 7-8 at 9.5. However, the per-student spending is higher at the middle school level, with Woodman 7-8 spending $14,161 per student compared to $13,587 per student at Woodman School.
The stark difference in racial makeup between the elementary and middle school raises questions about equity and inclusion within the Woodman Elementary district. Additionally, the small student populations at both schools, especially the middle school, suggest that the district may need to consider consolidation or restructuring to ensure the long-term sustainability and viability of its educational offerings.
