Summary:

The Littlefork-Big Falls School District has only one elementary school, Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 187 students. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 534 out of 845 schools in 2022-2023 to 622 out of 872 schools in 2024-2025.

Academically, Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary has struggled, with the percentage of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math and Reading consistently falling below the state averages across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.33% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and 36.67% were proficient or better in Reading, compared to the state average of 49.59%.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1, the school faces challenges related to the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which stood at 48.13% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may need additional resources and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and improve academic outcomes.
