Summary:
The Terry K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, Terry School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 149th out of 212 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 272nd out of 332 in 2022-2023. While the school performs above the state average in mathematics, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are well below the statewide averages.
Terry School faces some challenges related to its student population, with a relatively high percentage of students (58.7% in 2024-2025) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its overall performance, as measured by its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, is below the state average.
While the Terry K-12 Schools district is allocating significant resources to Terry School, the school's inconsistent performance and specific academic strengths and weaknesses suggest that factors beyond just resource allocation may be at play. The district and school leadership may need to investigate further and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students at Terry School receive a high-quality education.
