Summary:

East Evergreen School is an elementary school located in Kalispell, Montana, serving around 360 students in grades PK-4 and is part of the Kalispell Elementary School District.

While East Evergreen School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has been inconsistent over the years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (35.86%) and Reading (31.72%) for the 2022-2023 school year are lower than the state averages. However, its performance has fluctuated, with higher proficiency rates in 2021-2022 (42.07% in Math, 41.38% in Reading). Compared to high-performing nearby schools like Deer Park School and Creston School, East Evergreen's academic performance is generally lower.

East Evergreen School's statewide ranking has been quite volatile, ranging from 80th out of 123 schools in 2018-2019 to 264th out of 356 in 2020-2021, suggesting inconsistent performance over the years. However, the school has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (8.61%) compared to the nearby schools. Despite these challenges, East Evergreen School's low student-teacher ratio and the district's efforts to improve student outcomes may be areas of focus for parents and the community.

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.
