Pine Grove Elementary

Summary:

Pine Grove School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Pine Grove Elementary District, which is ranked 291 out of 387 districts in Montana and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. With only 8 students enrolled, Pine Grove School is an extremely small rural elementary school, which likely presents both challenges and opportunities in providing a personalized educational experience.

The school's academic performance is an area of concern, as its 2024-2025 test scores in MAST/English Language Arts (40% proficient or better) and MAST/Mathematics (20% proficient or better) fall below the state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. However, the school's high spending of $14,235 per student and favorable 8:1 student-teacher ratio may help offset these academic challenges and provide additional support for students.

Overall, while Pine Grove School faces some performance-related obstacles, its small size and resources could also be leveraged to create a unique and personalized educational environment for its students. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the school's strengths, weaknesses, and the factors contributing to its performance within the Pine Grove Elementary District.
