Summary:
The city of Pryor, Montana is home to three struggling schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. Based on the available data, none of the schools in Pryor appear to be performing well academically, with consistently low test scores, poor statewide rankings, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The Arrow Creek Elementary School and Plenty Coups High School rank in the bottom 10% of their respective school types in Montana, while the Pryor 7-8 middle school is in the bottom 30%. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science compared to the state average, with Plenty Coups High School reporting 0% proficiency in all three subject areas.
Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $24,270 to $26,385, and small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios between 6.3 and 7.2, the schools in Pryor are not seeing improved academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the schools' challenges, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational opportunities for the students in this community.
