Summary:
The city of Hamilton, Montana is home to two elementary schools: Daly School and Washington School, both part of the Hamilton K-12 Schools district. While Daly School serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade, Washington School focuses on pre-K and kindergarten students, providing a more specialized educational environment for younger learners.
Daly School stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, ranking in the top half of Montana elementary schools and outperforming the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1, the school appears to offer a more personalized learning experience. However, it also serves a higher proportion of students from low-income families, as indicated by its 55.84% free/reduced lunch rate.
In contrast, Washington School caters to a smaller student population of just 65 students, with an even lower student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1. This suggests a more focused and individualized approach to early childhood education. While the school's free/reduced lunch rate is lower at 43.08%, the available data does not provide information on its academic performance or statewide ranking, making it difficult to draw direct comparisons to Daly School.
