Summary

Greenfield School is a small elementary school in Fairfield, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 65 students. Despite its small size, this school consistently ranks among the top 30-45 elementary schools in the state, earning 4-5 stars from SchoolDigger and outperforming the state averages in academic proficiency.

Greenfield School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 69.05% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 57.14% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. The school also boasts a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.7 to 11.5 over the past few years, significantly lower than nearby schools like Fairhaven Colony, Choteau School, and the schools in the Vaughn Elementary District. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.32% to 44.62%, Greenfield School continues to excel academically.

The small size and personalized attention at Greenfield School, along with the dedication of its staff, appear to be key factors in the school's consistent high performance. While many nearby schools struggle to match Greenfield's academic results, this elementary school in Fairfield, MT, remains a shining example of what can be achieved when a school focuses on providing a quality education for all its students.
