H C Davis Elementary

Summary:

H C Davis Elementary is a public elementary school in Cut Bank, Montana, serving 225 students in grades PK-3 as part of the Cut Bank Elementary School District.

H C Davis Elementary stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 37.33% White, 35.56% Native American, and 21.78% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in mathematics (29.17%) and reading (23.61%) lower than the state averages but higher than the Cut Bank Elementary district average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 270 out of 332 elementary schools in 2022-2023 (1 star) to 213 out of 356 in 2020-2021 (2 stars), indicating below-average performance compared to other Montana schools. Interestingly, H C Davis Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11 to 11.9 students per teacher, lower than nearby schools like Zenith Elementary, Glacier Elementary School, Hidden Lake Elementary, and Horizon Elementary, which have enrollments ranging from 8 to 26 students.

The declining statewide ranking of H C Davis Elementary, from a high of 39 out of 191 elementary schools in 2015-2016 (4 stars) to its current ranking of 270 out of 332 (1 star), suggests that the school's performance has been declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, while H C Davis Elementary's academic performance is generally higher than the Cut Bank Elementary district average, the district as a whole is performing below the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency, indicating broader challenges in improving student outcomes across the district.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
