Fishtail Elementary

Summary:

Fishtail Elementary is a small, rural school district in Montana, consisting of a single elementary school, Fishtail School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 15 students. The district is ranked 190 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fishtail School stands out for its relatively high test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (50%) and Mathematics (33.33%) exceeding the state averages. However, the school also has a high percentage of students (40%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher-need student population. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 is a potential strength, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

While Fishtail School's performance appears to be above the state average in some areas, it would be beneficial to compare the school's data to other schools within the Fishtail Elementary District or to similar small, rural elementary schools in Montana to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the school's relative strengths and areas for improvement.
