Summary:
The Grass Range School is the sole elementary school serving the Grass Range, Montana area, providing education for grades PK-6. With a relatively small student population of 45, the school has faced fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 130th out of 329 Montana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 229th out of 401 in the current 2024-2025 school year.
Academically, the Grass Range School has struggled to meet state standards, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36%), Mathematics (36%), and Science (42.86%) all falling below the state averages. The school's overall proficiency rate of 38.29% is also lower than the Grass Range Elementary district average of 42.42% and the statewide average of 42.67%. However, the school's spending per student of $9,886 in the 2018-2019 school year was relatively high compared to state averages.
Despite the academic challenges, the Grass Range School serves a population with significant economic needs, with 40% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's small size may present both advantages and disadvantages, and further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to its performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
