Elementary Schools in St Ignatius K-12 Schools

Summary:

The St Ignatius K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, St Ignatius Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 251st out of 329 Montana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 323rd out of 401 in 2024-2025.

St Ignatius Elementary School's academic performance is below the state average, with only 27.27% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. However, the school's performance in Science (33.33%) was slightly higher than the state average of 38.16%. The school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as 100% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's challenges, it appears to have adequate resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $11,492 in the 2018-2019 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 in the 2024-2025 school year. The district may need to explore ways to better support the school and its students to improve their educational outcomes and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance.
