Summary:
The city of Moore, Montana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Moore School (an elementary school), Moore High School, and Moore 6-8 (a middle school). These schools, part of the Moore Elementary and Moore High School districts, provide education to a small student population in this rural community.
Among the three schools, Moore School stands out as a top-performing elementary school, consistently ranking among the best in the state. In the 2021-2022 school year, it was ranked 1st out of 329 Montana elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the state averages. The Moore 6-8 middle school has also performed well, ranking 59th out of 222 Montana middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 4-star rating.
While the academic performance of the elementary and middle schools is impressive, the small student enrollments at all three schools, particularly the 28 students at the high school, may present challenges in maintaining a diverse and robust academic program. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, especially the 75% at the elementary school, suggest that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could have implications for the schools' resource allocation and support services. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios across all three schools, ranging from 6.7 to 8 students per teacher, indicate a strong focus on personalized attention and support for students.
