Elementary Schools in Absarokee Elementary

Summary:

The Absarokee Elementary district in Montana has only one elementary school, the Absarokee School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. As the sole elementary school in the area, the Absarokee School's performance and characteristics provide a comprehensive overview of the educational landscape for families in the Absarokee community.

The Absarokee School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 119th out of 212 Montana elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 264th out of 332 in 2022-2023. Its current ranking for 2024-2025 is 252nd out of 401 schools, with a 2-star rating. Academically, the school lags behind both the Absarokee Elementary district and the statewide averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. With 35.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the Absarokee School has a higher rate of economically disadvantaged students than the state average.

Despite spending $11,267 per student, which is higher than the state average, the Absarokee School's academic performance remains a concern. The school's small size, with only 79 students, may present both opportunities and challenges in terms of personalized attention and resource allocation. Overall, the Absarokee School appears to be a rural elementary school that is struggling to consistently meet academic standards and provide a high-quality education to its students.
