Summary:

The Absarokee Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools: Absarokee School, an elementary school, and Absarokee 6-8, a middle school. The data shows that the middle school, Absarokee 6-8, consistently outperforms the elementary school, Absarokee School, in terms of statewide rankings and test scores.

Absarokee 6-8 has a 4-star rating, the highest in the district, while Absarokee School has a lower 2-star rating. In the 2024-2025 school year, Absarokee 6-8 outperformed the elementary school and the state averages in both English Language Arts (55% proficient or better) and Mathematics (41.86% proficient or better). However, in Science, Absarokee 6-8 (30% proficient or better) trails the elementary school (33.33%) and the state (38.16%) averages.

Additionally, Absarokee School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.44%) compared to Absarokee 6-8 (26.83%), which may indicate a lower socioeconomic status of the student population at the elementary school. Both schools have the same reported spending per student of $11,267 for the 2018-2019 school year, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and class sizes, may be contributing to the performance difference between the two schools.
