Riverview Elementary

Summary:

Riverview Elementary is a small public school in Galata, Montana, serving grades PK-8 with just 19 students, making it one of the smallest schools in the area. However, the school faces significant challenges compared to its neighbors, including a lack of diversity, consistently low academic performance, and potential resource constraints.

Riverview Elementary stands out for its 100% white student population, which is very different from the more diverse Chester-Joplin-Inverness School, where students come from a variety of racial backgrounds. Academically, Riverview has struggled, with 0% of students proficient in both math and reading on the latest state tests, far below the 50% proficiency rates at Chester-Joplin-Inverness and Liberty Elementary. The school's low ranking of 330 out of 332 Montana elementary schools reflects these academic challenges.

Riverview's small size and remote location may contribute to its struggles, with a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19:1 compared to nearby Sage Creek Elementary and Galata School, which have much lower ratios. The school's challenges may also be tied to the low ranking and 1-star rating of its Liberty Elementary School District, which could indicate funding and resource constraints.

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.
