Zurich Elementary

Summary:

Zurich Elementary District in Zurich, Montana operates a single elementary school, Zurich School, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 23 students. The district is ranked 278 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Zurich School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in 2024-2025 below the state averages in English Language Arts (30% vs. 43.09%), Mathematics (40% vs. 36.77%), and Science (0% vs. 38.16%). The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, from 38 out of 332 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 265 out of 401 in 2024-2025. This volatility suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.

Zurich School serves a student population with significant economic disadvantages, as indicated by the high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance concerns suggest the allocation and utilization of resources may not be effectively addressing the needs of the students. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Zurich School within the Zurich Elementary district.
