McLeod Elementary

Summary:

McLeod Elementary is a small, rural school district in Montana that is home to just one school, McLeod School. Despite its small size, with only 8 students enrolled, McLeod School is a standout institution, ranking in the top 25% of elementary schools statewide and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McLeod School's students significantly outperform the state average in all three tested subjects - English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In ELA and Science, the school's proficiency rates are more than double the state average, indicating exceptional academic achievement. This high level of performance is likely due to the school's remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, well below the state average, and its higher-than-average spending of $21,923 per student.

Over the past decade, McLeod Elementary has made impressive strides, improving its state ranking by 30 positions to place in the top 25% of elementary schools in Montana. This dramatic improvement suggests the school is doing an excellent job of supporting student learning and growth, despite the challenges that may come with its small size and rural location.
