Summary:
The Harrison K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, Harrison School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 161 out of 212 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 347 out of 401 in 2024-2025.
Harrison School's academic performance is well below the state averages in English Language Arts (20% proficient or better), Mathematics (25% proficient or better), and Science (0% proficient or better), compared to the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. The school has a relatively small student population of 36 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 41.67%, indicating a significant economic challenge for the community.
Despite the school's relatively small class sizes and higher-than-average spending per student at $14,182, the academic performance remains low. This suggests that the school may be facing other challenges, such as teacher quality, curriculum, or school leadership, that are not being adequately addressed by the current funding and resource allocation. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's practices to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the community.
