Ramsay Elementary

Summary:

The Ramsay Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools: Ramsay School, an elementary school, and Ramsay Middle School. While both schools have similar funding levels, Ramsay Middle School appears to be outperforming Ramsay Elementary in academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts and Science proficiency.

Ramsay Middle School boasts a higher proficiency rate in English Language Arts (53.33%) and Science (50%) compared to Ramsay Elementary (37.93% and 38.46%, respectively) in the 2024-2025 school year. This difference in performance may be attributed to Ramsay Middle School's lower student-teacher ratio of 10.2, compared to Ramsay Elementary's ratio of 16.4. Additionally, Ramsay Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.03%) than Ramsay Middle School (23.81%), indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students.

While both schools performed below the state average in Mathematics proficiency (36.77%), the data suggests that Ramsay Middle School is the stronger-performing school in the Ramsay Elementary district. However, the declining performance of Ramsay Elementary, as evidenced by its drop in statewide ranking from 90th out of 212 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 254th out of 401 in 2024-2025, warrants further investigation to understand the underlying causes and develop strategies to support student success across the district.
