Ennis School

Summary:

Ennis School is an elementary school located in Ennis, Montana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 229 students. The school is part of the Ennis K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 34 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ennis School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in Montana state assessments, with 69.29% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, 61.42% in Reading, and 58.97% in Science. The school has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Montana elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Ennis School has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 95% of students identifying as White, in contrast to the more diverse racial makeup of the state of Montana. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.3 to 13.6 students per teacher, suggests a more personalized learning environment for students.

The only nearby school included in the data is Alder School, a much smaller elementary school serving only 17 students in grades PK-8. While Alder School also has a high statewide ranking, with a 5-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year, the significant difference in school size and grade levels makes a meaningful comparison difficult. Overall, Ennis School appears to be a high-performing elementary school that consistently delivers strong academic outcomes for its students.

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.
