Summary:

The Darby K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to a single elementary school, Darby School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been consistently below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Darby School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 108 out of 212 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 224 out of 401 in 2024-2025. The school is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Montana elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, Darby School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.07%) and Mathematics (42.39%) were lower than the state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. The school's proficiency rate in Science (25%) was also significantly lower than the state average of 38.16%.

One notable factor about Darby School is the high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may contribute to the school's academic challenges and suggest a need for additional resources and support to address the needs of these students.
