Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.1 to 1, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance.
While Bluffview Montessori's academic performance remains strong, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 220 out of 845 in 2022-2023 to 288 out of 872 in 2024-2025. This could be due to changes in the overall performance of other schools in the state or shifts in the school's own performance.
