Jordan Elementary School

Summary:

Jordan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jordan, Montana, serving 79 students in grades PK-6. The school has consistently outperformed the state average in mathematics and reading assessments, with 66.67% of students proficient or better in math and 69.23% in reading, compared to the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively. This academic excellence is further reflected in the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1 and its high per-student spending of $10,359, both of which are above the state averages.

Jordan Elementary School's strong performance has earned it a statewide ranking of 16 out of 332 elementary schools in Montana, placing it in the top 5% in the state. This consistent academic achievement suggests the school has effective teaching practices, curriculum, and support systems in place to foster student learning. However, the school's predominantly white student population may limit the diversity of experiences and perspectives available to students, potentially impacting their preparation for an increasingly diverse world.

While Jordan Elementary School has maintained its position as a high-performing institution, its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 16th to 160th out of Montana's elementary schools. This suggests that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond its control, such as changes in the state's educational landscape or assessment criteria. Nevertheless, the school's strong academic results and resources indicate it is providing a quality education to its students, and there may be opportunities for further improvement, particularly in areas such as closing achievement gaps and enhancing student support services.

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.
