Yellowstone Academy Elementary


Summary:

The Yellowstone Academy Elementary district in Montana operates two schools: Yellowstone Academy 7-8, a middle school, and Yellowstone Academy Elementary, an elementary school. Both schools have extremely low enrollments, with the middle school serving just 34 students and the elementary school serving 24 students. Despite their small sizes, the schools have high per-student spending of $58,145, which is significantly above the state average.

Neither school is performing well academically, with both ranked in the bottom 10-15% of schools in the state over the past three years and receiving 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The student populations of both schools are predominantly white, with the next largest racial groups being Hispanic and Native American, suggesting a lack of diversity. The schools also have very low student-teacher ratios, with the middle school at 2.5 and the elementary school at 2.1, indicating a high level of staffing despite the poor academic outcomes.

Overall, the Yellowstone Academy Elementary district appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The combination of extremely low enrollments, consistently low state rankings, and high per-student spending raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the schools' poor performance. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes and ensuring that students in the district receive the support they need to succeed.
