Summary

Missoula TEACH Academy is an elementary school located in Missoula, Montana, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the Missoula Elementary District, which is ranked 165 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the nearby schools in the Missoula Elementary District, such as Rattlesnake Elementary, Jeannette Rankin Elementary, and Paxson School, consistently outperform the state average in academic proficiency, Missoula TEACH Academy significantly underperforms. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.73% of Missoula TEACH Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.06% in the Missoula Elementary District and 43.09% statewide. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 33.33% of Missoula TEACH Academy students were proficient or better, compared to 43.84% in the district and 36.77% statewide. The school's performance in Science was even more concerning, with only 9.09% of students proficient or better, compared to 49.14% in the district and 38.16% statewide.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Missoula TEACH Academy (69.05%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.8 at Missoula TEACH Academy, compared to the nearby schools in the Missoula Elementary District, which range from 11.9 to 17.5, could be a factor. Given the significant performance gap, there may be opportunities for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes.
