Whitehall Elementary

Summary:

The Whitehall Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools: Whitehall Elementary and Whitehall 6-8. Based on the available data, Whitehall Elementary appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming the state average in academic test scores.

Whitehall Elementary has a statewide ranking of 36 out of 401 Montana elementary schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Whitehall 6-8 ranks 102 out of 222 Montana middle schools with a 3-star rating. Whitehall Elementary outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while Whitehall 6-8 outperforms the state average only in Science. Additionally, Whitehall Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.7 compared to 11.7 at Whitehall 6-8.

Despite the similar spending per student of $7,965 for both schools, Whitehall Elementary's stronger academic performance suggests that factors other than funding, such as the lower student-teacher ratio, may be contributing to its success. The higher free and reduced lunch rate at Whitehall 6-8 indicates that the middle school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a factor in its lower academic performance compared to the elementary school.
