Elementary Schools in Hinsdale Elementary

Summary:

The Hinsdale School is the sole elementary school located within the Hinsdale Elementary district in Hinsdale, Montana. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its overall academic performance, as measured by test scores and statewide rankings, is below average compared to other elementary schools in the state.

The Hinsdale School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (10%) and Mathematics (0%) for the 2024-2025 school year are significantly lower than the state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. However, the school's Science proficiency rate of 40% is higher than the state average of 38.16%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (83.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $15,199 for the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, which may be due to the school's small size and the need to maintain a certain level of staffing and resources. The school's fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 196 out of 212 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 371 out of 401 in 2024-2025, suggests that its performance may be inconsistent or variable, which could be an area of concern for parents and the local community.
