Elementary Schools in Garrison Elementary

Summary:

The Garrison School is the sole elementary school serving the Garrison Elementary district in Garrison, Montana. With only 17 students enrolled in grades PK-6, Garrison School faces significant challenges, including a dramatic decline in its statewide ranking from 15th out of 287 schools in 2014-2015 to 385th out of 401 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year.

Academically, Garrison School's performance on standardized tests is consistently well below the state averages. In 2024-2025, only 11.11% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics, and 0% in Science, compared to state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17:1, which may impact the level of individual attention and support that students receive.

Despite the school's small size and academic struggles, the data does not provide information about the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch for the 2024-2025 school year. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of Garrison School's performance challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement to better serve the educational needs of the community.
