Elementary Schools in Bridger K-12 Schools

Summary:

Bridger K-12 Schools in Montana has a single elementary school, Bridger Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 69th out of 212 schools in 2023-2024 to 249th out of 401 schools in 2024-2025. While the school's proficiency rates in core academic subjects are generally below the state averages, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 students per teacher.

Bridger Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MAST/English Language Arts, MAST/Mathematics, and Montana Science Assessment/Science, has been mixed compared to the state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 32.2% in ELA, 33.33% in Math, and 53.33% in Science, while the state averages were 43.09% in ELA, 36.77% in Math, and 38.16% in Science. This suggests that the school may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

One notable characteristic of Bridger Elementary School is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the 2024-2025 school year. This indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact the school's resources and ability to support student learning. Despite these challenges, the small size of the school, with only 114 students, may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support, though it could also present difficulties in accessing resources and extracurricular activities.
