Froid Elementary School

Summary:

Froid Elementary School is a small public school in Froid, Montana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of just 35 students. While the school has some unique characteristics, its academic performance and statewide ranking have been inconsistent in recent years.

One of Froid Elementary's key differentiators is its racial diversity, with a higher percentage of Native American students (17.14%) and students identifying as two or more races (11.43%) compared to nearby schools like Bainville School and Culbertson School. Academically, the school had a higher percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics (40%) and Reading (40%) than the state averages in 2022-2023. However, its statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 40 out of 191 Montana elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 287 out of 329 in 2021-2022.

Another notable aspect of Froid Elementary is its extremely low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4.7 to 5.4 students per teacher over the past three years, significantly lower than the nearby Bainville K-12 Schools (8.4 students per teacher) and Culbertson Elementary (8.6 students per teacher). While this may provide more personalized attention, the school's small size could also limit the range of educational opportunities available to 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.
