Stanford School

Summary:

Stanford School is an elementary school located in Stanford, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 53 students. The school is part of the Stanford K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 207 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanford School has a significantly higher percentage of white students, ranging from 90.57% to 96.77% over the past three school years, compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Hobson School (92.54% white) and Denton School (82.14% white). While Stanford School's performance on state tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates in mathematics (41.67%) and reading (41.67%) lower than the state averages in 2022-2023, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7:1 to 9.7:1, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools.

Despite having a lower spending per student compared to Hobson School, Stanford School has maintained its efficient resource allocation, which could indicate effective teaching practices. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 58th out of 217 elementary schools in 2003-2004 to its current ranking of 168th out of 332 in 2022-2023, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence compared to other schools in the state.

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.
