Summary:

Emily Dickinson School is an exceptional elementary school located in Bozeman, Montana, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 519 students. As part of the highly-ranked Bozeman Elementary District, Emily Dickinson School consistently performs among the top elementary schools in the state, ranking 8th out of 332 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

The school's academic performance is truly impressive, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (65.63%), Reading (73.62%), and Science (70.79%) that significantly outpace the district and state averages.

This diversity is a testament to the school's ability to support the learning needs of students from various backgrounds.

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.
