Summary

Auchard Creek School is a small elementary school in Wolf Creek, Montana, serving grades PK-8 with just 13 students. While the school excels in mathematics, with 100% of students proficient or better, it lags behind the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency at only 33.33%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 76.92%, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Auchard Creek School's exceptional mathematics performance is a remarkable achievement, suggesting a strong focus on math instruction and curriculum. However, the school's relatively low ELA proficiency compared to the state average is an area of concern, potentially indicating a need to strengthen the ELA curriculum and instructional strategies. The school's fluctuating ranking over the years, from a high of 31 out of 287 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 113 out of 212 in 2023-2024, suggests that its overall performance may be influenced by a variety of factors beyond just academic achievement.

Unfortunately, the data provided does not include information about any nearby schools, so it is difficult to assess how Auchard Creek School performs relative to its peers in the surrounding area. The school is part of the Auchard Creek Elementary District, which is ranked 113 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
