Elementary Schools in Kinsey Elementary

Summary:

The Kinsey School is the sole elementary school located within the Kinsey Elementary district in Kinsey, Montana. This small school serves a student population of just 52 students, with a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average.

Over the past few years, Kinsey School's academic performance has been declining, dropping from a 4-star statewide ranking in 2022-2023 to just a 1-star ranking in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have fallen below the state averages, indicating that students may be struggling to meet academic standards. With per-student spending below the state average, the school's funding challenges may be contributing to these performance issues.

Despite its small size, Kinsey School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's declining performance, below-average proficiency rates, and potential funding concerns suggest that targeted interventions and additional support may be necessary to help the school improve its educational outcomes and better serve the Kinsey community.
