Elementary Schools in Swan River Elementary

Summary:

Swan River Elementary District in Montana has only one elementary school, Swan River School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 106 students.

Swan River School appears to be a relatively average-performing elementary school, with fluctuating statewide rankings and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science, but significantly underperforms in Mathematics. With 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Swan River School serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges. The school's per-student spending of $9,163 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1 suggest that it has access to adequate resources to support its students.

Overall, Swan River School seems to be facing a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While it excels in certain academic subjects, the school's performance in Mathematics is a concern that may require targeted interventions and curriculum adjustments. Additionally, the school's high rate of low-income students highlights the need for additional support and resources to ensure the success of its student population.
