Helena Flats Elementary

Summary:

The Helena Flats Elementary district in Montana is home to two schools: Helena Flats School (elementary) and Helena Flats 7-8 (middle school). While the middle school has shown strong performance, the elementary school faces some challenges, and both schools serve a student population with high economic disadvantage.

Helena Flats 7-8 Middle School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 77 out of 222 Montana middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in mathematics proficiency, with 50% of students proficient or better. Additionally, the middle school maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6.

In contrast, Helena Flats School had lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's overall performance, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests potential areas for improvement. Both schools, however, face the challenge of serving a student population with 100% eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
