Chinook Elementary

Summary:

The Chinook Elementary district in Montana consists of three schools: Meadowlark School, Chinook 7-8, and Hartland Elementary School. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, enrollment, and socioeconomic factors among these schools.

Meadowlark School, the largest in the district with 144 students, stands out with the highest overall test scores, including 40% proficiency in English Language Arts, 37.66% in Math, and 20% in Science.

These findings highlight the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Chinook Elementary district.
