Reichle School

Summary:

Reichle School is a small elementary school in Glen, MT, serving grades PK-8 with just 17 students. Despite its small size, Reichle School consistently outperforms the state average in academic achievement and maintains a strong statewide ranking among Montana elementary schools.

One of the key factors that sets Reichle School apart is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.5 to 9.5 students per teacher over the past three years. This is significantly lower than nearby schools like Twin Bridges School (10 students per teacher) and Parkview School (16.6 students per teacher). Reichle School's students have also consistently outperformed the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency on the Montana State Tests, with 41.67% and 66.67% of students proficient or better, respectively, in the 2022-2023 school year.

While Reichle School's performance is impressive, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 14th out of 287 schools in 2014-2015 to 75th out of 332 schools in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may be facing increasing competition from other high-performing schools in the state. However, Reichle School's performance is still particularly strong when compared to nearby schools, such as Twin Bridges School, which has lower proficiency rates in both mathematics and reading. Additionally, Reichle School's high spending per student, at $8,370 for the 2018-2019 school year, suggests that the school is investing significant resources into its educational programs and facilities.

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.
