Trail Creek Elementary

The Riverview School is the sole elementary school in the Trail Creek Elementary District in Montana, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 8 students. Despite its small size, Riverview School has emerged as a standout institution, ranking 1st out of 401 elementary schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year.

Riverview School's academic performance is truly exceptional, with 100% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the MAST assessments, significantly outperforming the state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. This remarkable achievement can be attributed, in part, to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's high level of spending per student, at $21,884 for the 2018-2019 school year, suggests that it has access to resources and programs that contribute to its strong performance.

The Trail Creek Elementary District, of which Riverview School is a part, is also a standout in the state, ranking 1st out of 387 districts in Montana and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This indicates that the district as a whole is providing a high-quality education to its students, and the success of Riverview School is likely a reflection of the district's overall educational practices and priorities.
