Plentywood School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, compared to the nearby Medicine Lake School's 7.1:1 ratio, suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students. However, Plentywood School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,001, which is lower than the $19,972 spent per student at the nearby Medicine Lake School. This indicates that the smaller school may be able to provide a more personalized learning environment, but it is unclear if this translates to better academic outcomes.
