Summary

Brorson School is an elementary school located 7 miles northwest of Sidney, Montana, serving grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 105 students. The school is part of the Brorson Elementary School District, which is ranked 164 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brorson School's standout feature is its exceptional performance in mathematics, with 80% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 36.77%. However, the school lags behind the state average in English Language Arts (20% proficient) and Science (50% proficient). Brorson's very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.6 to 4.1 over the past 3 years, is a unique characteristic that may contribute to its strong mathematics results. Compared to nearby schools like Lambert School, Fairview School, and Rau School, Brorson has a smaller enrollment but generally higher test scores in mathematics.

Brorson School's statewide ranking has remained relatively consistent, placing it in the middle of the pack compared to other elementary schools in Montana. While the school's mathematics performance is a strength, its lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are areas for improvement. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these lower scores could be a priority for the school, as it works to provide a well-rounded education for its students.
