Fromberg School

Summary:

Fromberg School is an elementary school in Fromberg, MT, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 53 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the state average and the surrounding schools.

Fromberg School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.45%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, with only 30.77% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 42.31% proficient or better in reading, compared to the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated but is generally in the lower half of Montana elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby Joliet School, which has a higher percentage of white students and a higher student-teacher ratio, outperforms Fromberg School in both mathematics and reading proficiency. This suggests that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio may be influencing student outcomes at Fromberg School, and the district and school leadership may need to identify and address the root causes of the school's lower academic performance.

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.
