Elementary Schools in Roundup Elementary

Summary:

Roundup Elementary is the sole elementary school located in Roundup, Montana, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 141st out of 329 Montana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 256th out of 401 in 2024-2025. Roundup Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages, indicating that students are struggling to meet academic standards.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Roundup Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 59.06% in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. The student-teacher ratio at the school is 18.2, slightly higher than the state average, which could also impact the quality of education provided.

The school's per-student spending of $8,986 in 2018-2019 may not be sufficient to address the needs of the student population, especially given the high percentage of students from low-income families. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing strategies to improve academic performance and support the school's student population could be crucial for the future success of Roundup Elementary and the Roundup Elementary district.
