Elementary Schools in Baker K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Baker K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to two elementary schools: Longfellow School and Lincoln School. While both schools serve students in the same district, they exhibit some notable differences in their performance and student demographics.

Lincoln School has a stronger historical record, ranking 56th out of 230 Montana elementary schools in the 2006-2007 school year and earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Longfellow School currently ranks 239th out of 401 schools and has a 2-star rating. Additionally, Lincoln School boasts a lower student-teacher ratio of 10:1, compared to Longfellow School's 14.3:1 ratio.

While both schools have the same reported spending per student of $16,241 for the 2018-2019 school year, Longfellow School lags behind in academic performance, with proficiency rates in ELA (33.33%), Math (37.91%), and Science (38.46%) all falling below the district and state averages. Unfortunately, recent test score data for Lincoln School is not available, making a direct comparison difficult. However, the historical performance and lower student-teacher ratio of Lincoln School suggest it may be the stronger-performing school between the two.
