Summary:

The Three Forks Elementary School District in Montana operates two schools: Three Forks Elementary School (grades PK-5) and Three Forks 7-8 (grades 6-8). The data reveals a mixed picture of academic performance across the district.

Three Forks Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 51st out of 212 schools in 2023-2024 to 194th out of 401 schools in 2024-2025. In contrast, Three Forks 7-8 has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Montana middle schools, suggesting the middle school may be an area of concern for the district. Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Academically, Three Forks Elementary School had lower proficiency rates than the state average in ELA and Science, but higher in Math. Three Forks 7-8, on the other hand, had higher proficiency rates than the elementary school in ELA but lower in Math and significantly lower in Science. The similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the two schools suggest the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocations to address the differences in academic performance.
