Summary:

The Box Elder Elementary district contains only one elementary school, the Box Elder School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance data paints a concerning picture, as it ranks 387 out of 401 elementary schools in Montana and has a low 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Box Elder School struggles academically, with very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (7.8%), Mathematics (2.84%), and Science (0%) compared to the state averages. Additionally, 100% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.1 is slightly lower than the state average but still relatively high.

Compared to other elementary schools in Montana, the Box Elder School is performing well below average. Its statewide ranking has declined significantly, dropping from 190 out of 212 schools in 2023-2024 to 387 out of 401 schools in 2024-2025. Addressing the underlying issues and improving the educational outcomes for students at the Box Elder School should be a priority for the district and community.
