Summary:
The city of Butte, Montana is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district serve students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, with most schools having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in Butte are Hillcrest School, a 4-star elementary school that consistently ranks among the top in the state, and Whittier School, another high-performing 4-star elementary school. These schools boast impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, exceeding the district and state averages.
However, the data also reveals a disparity in academic performance across the district. While Hillcrest and Whittier Schools are standout performers, several other elementary schools, such as Emerson School and Kennedy School, have significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects, well below the state averages. This suggests that the Butte Elementary district may have room for improvement in providing a consistently high-quality education across all its schools.
