Sunnyside School

Summary:

Sunnyside School is an elementary school in Havre, Montana, serving 259 students in grades 4-5. The school is part of the Havre Elementary School District, which is ranked 218 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunnyside School stands out for having a higher percentage of Native American students (18.15%) compared to nearby Lincoln-McKinley School (23.92%) and Highland Park School (25.9%). However, the school consistently underperforms the Havre Elementary district and the state of Montana in proficiency rates for Mathematics, Reading, and Science on the Montana State Tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, Sunnyside School's proficiency rates were 23.26% in Mathematics, 27.8% in Reading, and 25% in Science, compared to the Havre Elementary district's 26.79%, 32.47%, and 32.52%, respectively, and the state's 36.59%, 46.03%, and 37.03%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 88th out of 123 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 276th out of 332 in 2022-2023.

Additionally, Sunnyside School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.1 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to 17.5 at Lincoln-McKinley School and 15.1 at Highland Park School. This higher ratio may indicate a need for additional staffing resources to provide more individualized attention and support for students, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance.

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.
