Summary:
The Choteau Elementary school district in Montana consists of two schools: Choteau School, which serves grades PK-8, and Choteau 7-8, which serves grades 7-8. While the Choteau School is ranked in the bottom half of Montana elementary schools, the Choteau 7-8 middle school is performing better than the district average, ranking 63 out of 123 Montana middle schools.
The Choteau 7-8 middle school has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past three years, going from 143 out of 190 in 2021-2022 to 63 out of 123 in 2023-2024, indicating the school is making progress. Both schools have math proficiency rates above the state average, but their reading proficiency rates are below the state average. The Choteau 7-8 middle school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.5, compared to 15.7 at the Choteau School, which may contribute to the better outcomes at the middle school level.
The high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the Choteau 7-8 middle school (55.56%), suggest the district may need to address socioeconomic factors that could be impacting student learning. Overall, the Choteau Elementary school district has some bright spots, particularly with the performance of the Choteau 7-8 middle school, but also faces challenges in areas like reading proficiency that may require targeted interventions and support.
