Elementary Schools in Geraldine K-12

Summary:

The Geraldine K-12 school district in Montana is home to a single elementary school, Geraldine Elementary. With a small student population of just 47 students, the school faces significant challenges, including below-average academic performance and a declining statewide ranking.

Geraldine Elementary has a low statewide ranking, with a rating of only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is below the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 127th out of 332 Montana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 298th out of 401 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend.

Despite the school's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, the data suggests that Geraldine Elementary is struggling to meet the needs of its students. The high percentage of students (57.45%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage within the school's population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. While the small size of the school could be an advantage, the data does not indicate whether this is being effectively leveraged to improve student performance. Overall, the analysis of Geraldine Elementary suggests that the school requires targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
