Summary:
The Nashua K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, Nashua School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. With just 49 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.3, Nashua School is significantly smaller than the state average.
Academically, Nashua School's performance is mixed compared to the state. While the school exceeds the Montana average in science proficiency at 42.86%, it significantly underperforms in English Language Arts at only 14.81% proficiency, well below the state's 43.09% average. In mathematics, the school is slightly above the state average at 33.33% proficiency. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 181 out of 212 elementary schools to 303 out of 401, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students, 77.55%, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's spending per student, at $14,209, is higher than the state average. Overall, the data suggests that Nashua School faces unique challenges, particularly in improving its English Language Arts performance, while also leveraging its small size and strong science results to better support its students.
