Summary

Ennis School is an exceptional elementary school in Ennis, Montana, serving 244 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Ennis K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 48 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Ennis School has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 14 students per teacher, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, Ennis School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to the state average.

The nearby Alder School, located 18.38 miles away, is also a high-performing school, ranking 18 out of 356 Montana elementary schools in 2020-2021 and having a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.2. This suggests that the Ennis area may have a concentration of quality educational opportunities. However, the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Ennis School may indicate potential equity concerns, as students from lower-income families may not have the same level of access to the school's resources and opportunities.
