Summary

Montgomery Pre K-8 is a public elementary school serving 606 students in grades PreK-8 in the Tri-City United School District in Montgomery, Minnesota. Over the past 10 years, the school has generally ranked in the middle to lower end of Minnesota elementary schools, with a 2-4 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montgomery Pre K-8 consistently underperforms the state average in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels, and also lags behind the Tri-City United School District as a whole. However, the school does perform relatively well for its Hispanic student population, ranking in the top 25-55 of Minnesota elementary schools in recent years. On the other hand, the school struggles with its White student and special education student populations, ranking in the bottom 25-50% of Minnesota schools for these subgroups. The school has also seen a significant increase in free and reduced lunch recipients, rising from 38.81% in 2021-2022 to 51.26% in 2022-2023, which likely contributes to the school's overall academic underperformance.

Compared to nearby schools like Cleveland Elementary and Eagle View, Montgomery Pre K-8 generally underperforms in both math and reading proficiency. Schools in the New Prague Area Schools district also consistently outperform Montgomery Pre K-8 on state assessments. Addressing the school's inconsistent academic performance, achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, and the challenges posed by its high rate of economically disadvantaged students will be key to improving outcomes for the students of Montgomery Pre K-8.
