Summary:
The Ryegate K-12 Schools district in Montana contains a single elementary school, Ryegate School, which serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Despite the small size of the district, the data reveals significant challenges facing Ryegate School in terms of academic performance and student outcomes.
Ryegate School has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Montana elementary schools, with a ranking of 396 out of 401 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are alarmingly low, with 0% proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, compared to the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2024-2025 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the relatively high spending per student at $21,854 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 6.3 to 1 in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state's standards. This suggests that the school's resource allocation and instructional practices may not be effectively addressing the needs of its students, and there is significant room for improvement in student achievement and overall school performance.
