Summary:
Morin Elementary is the sole school in the Morin Elementary district, serving students in grades K-5 in Billings, Montana. Despite having relatively high per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio, Morin School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Montana elementary schools and struggles with significantly below-average academic performance.
In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of Morin School students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.09%. In Mathematics, just 6.67% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 36.77%. The school's Science proficiency rate was 0%, far below the state average of 38.16%. This persistent achievement gap suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions to support student learning and growth.
While Morin Elementary appears to have adequate funding and resources, with high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance remains significantly below the state average. This indicates that the challenge may not be a lack of resources, but rather the effective utilization and allocation of those resources to address the unique needs of the school's student population, which includes 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
