Summary:

Kinsey School is an elementary school in Kinsey, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 61 students. The school is part of the Miles City Elementary District, which is ranked 37 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kinsey School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outperforming the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency. In the 2022-2023 school year, 53.33% of Kinsey School students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 36.59%, and 60% were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 46.03%. This has led to Kinsey School's high ranking among Montana elementary schools, reaching as high as 55th out of 332 in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 14.3 over the past three years, may contribute to its academic success.

While Kinsey School has a predominantly white student population, the nearby schools in the Miles City Elementary District have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Kinsey School's spending per student in the 2018-2019 school year was $6,975, lower than the nearby Miles City Elementary District schools, which ranged from $9,166 to $9,871 per student. This suggests that Kinsey School is able to achieve strong academic results with relatively efficient use of resources, a finding that could provide valuable insights for other schools seeking to improve their educational outcomes.

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.
