Summary:
The Knees School is the sole elementary school located in the Knees Elementary district in Montana, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of just 13 students.
Despite its small size, the school has seen a significant decline in performance over the past decade. In the 2024-2025 school year, Knees School ranked 351 out of 401 Montana elementary schools and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, down from a 3-star rating in 2014-2015. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.33%), Mathematics (0%), and Science (0%) are all well below the state averages, indicating poor academic achievement. However, the school spends a relatively high $20,634 per student and has a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 to 1, suggesting the school may be struggling to translate its resources into improved student learning.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Knees School's performance, with declining rankings, low test scores, and high spending despite its small class sizes. While the reasons behind the school's struggles are not entirely clear, the findings suggest the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
