Crow Agency School

Summary:

Crow Agency School is an elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 271 students, located in the predominantly Native American community of Crow Agency, Montana. The school is part of the Hardin Elementary School District, which is ranked 278 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

Crow Agency School faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing well below state and district averages in standardized tests for mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 5.61% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 10.89% in the Hardin Elementary district and 36.59% statewide. The school's reading proficiency rate of 12.04% was also lower than the district's 13.38% and the state's 46.03%. Crow Agency School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Montana, with a ranking of 318 out of 332 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

The student population at Crow Agency School is overwhelmingly Native American, making up over 95% of the student body, in contrast to the nearby Hardin Intermediate and Hardin Primary schools, which have a more diverse student population. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 students per teacher suggests that resource allocation and funding may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, which is reflective of the challenges faced by the Hardin Elementary School District as a whole.

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.
