Summary:
The Helena Flats Elementary district in Montana contains a single elementary school, Helena Flats School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance and student demographics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement.
While Helena Flats School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, ranging from 169th out of 332 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 250th out of 329 in 2021-2022, its current ranking for 2024-2025 is 209th out of 401 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with ELA proficiency at 38.71% and math proficiency at 37.6%, both below the state averages. However, the school's science proficiency of 45.24% exceeds the state average of 38.16%.
One notable characteristic of Helena Flats School is that 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need in the community. The school's per-student spending of $9,374 and student-teacher ratio of 17.7 are within the typical range for Montana schools, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to address the school's areas of weakness and support student achievement.
