Miami School

Summary:

Miami School is a small elementary school located in Conrad, Montana, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of just 34 students. The school is part of the Miami Elementary District, which is ranked 282 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Miami School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on Montana state tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 12% of students were proficient or better in both mathematics and reading, compared to the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively. This performance has declined over the years, with the school ranking 312 out of 332 Montana elementary schools in the current school year. The school's low spending of $9,510 per student, compared to nearby schools like Midway Colony ($15,674) and Pendroy School ($14,952), may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

Another notable aspect of Miami School is its lack of diversity, with the school maintaining a 100% White student population for the past three years. This is not representative of the racial diversity seen in some nearby schools, such as Meadowlark School (86.36% White) and Valier School (60.26% White). While Miami School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind many of the nearby schools, such as Pondera Colony School, which have higher proficiency rates in mathematics and reading.

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.
