Across the three Plentywood schools, the free and reduced lunch rates are relatively high, ranging from 39.6% at the high school to 43.02% at the elementary school, Plentywood School. This suggests the district may have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and resource needs. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio varies, with Plentywood 7-8 having a higher ratio of 13.6 compared to around 10 at the other two schools, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.
