Elementary Schools in Hamilton K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Hamilton K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to two elementary schools, Daly School and Washington School, serving students from pre-K through 5th grade.

Daly School stands out as the academic leader in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Montana elementary schools and exceeding the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.7, Daly School provides a more personalized learning environment compared to the smaller Washington School, which serves only 65 students in pre-K and kindergarten and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.5.

While Washington School lacks the detailed performance data available for Daly School, its lower free and reduced lunch rate of 43.08% compared to Daly's 55.84% suggests it may serve a more economically advantaged student population. However, without comparable spending data, it's difficult to draw conclusions about the resource allocation and support provided to each school within the Hamilton K-12 Schools district.
