Elementary Schools in Glasgow K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Glasgow K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, Irle Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 380 students. While the school's performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics is below the state average, its science scores are slightly above average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Irle Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 139th out of 212 Montana elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 269th out of 401 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school's performance may be inconsistent or variable over time. The school's per-student spending is in line with the state average, but it's unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student learning and achievement.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.9, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Irle Elementary School has room for improvement, particularly in its academic performance on standardized tests, and may face unique challenges due to the demographics of its student population.
