Eureka Elementary

Summary:

The Eureka Elementary school district in Montana operates two schools: Eureka Elementary School and Eureka Middle School 5-8. While neither school stands out as an exceptional performer, the data reveals some key insights about the district's academic landscape.

Both Eureka Elementary School and Eureka Middle School 5-8 have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, dropping from 4-star and 3-star ratings, respectively, in 2021-2022 to 2-star ratings in 2024-2025. The schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, with a notable underperformance in Mathematics at both the elementary and middle school levels.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100% for both schools) suggests that the Eureka Elementary school district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be impacting the academic performance of the schools. While the district does not have any standout performers, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and a focus on improving the overall quality of education and student outcomes across the district.
