Elementary Schools in Benton Lake Elementary

Summary:

The Benton Lake Elementary district in Montana contains a single elementary school, Benton Lake School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 06 students. While the school previously performed well, ranking 35th out of 356 Montana elementary schools in 2020-2021 with a 5-star rating, its performance has since declined significantly.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Benton Lake School is ranked 345th out of 401 Montana elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates are well below the state averages, with only 28.57% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 14.29% in Mathematics, and 0% in Science. This suggests the majority of students are not meeting academic standards. Additionally, the school has an unusually low student-teacher ratio of 6:1, which does not appear to be translating into better outcomes for students.

The data indicates that Benton Lake Elementary is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The dramatic decline in the school's performance and the extremely low proficiency rates are concerning and warrant further investigation to identify the root causes and develop effective strategies for improvement.
