Summary

Rosebud School is a small elementary school in Rosebud, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 30 students. The school is part of the Rosebud K-12 District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 303 out of 387 districts in the state.

Rosebud School stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.5 to 9.4 over the past few years, significantly lower than the nearby Forsyth Elementary School, which has a ratio of 11.9. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Rosebud School's proficiency rates were 28.57% in ELA and Math, compared to 32.14% and 28.57% for the district, and 43.09% and 36.77% for the state. Additionally, Rosebud School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.67% to 65.71% over the past few years.

Interestingly, Rosebud School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 149 out of 287 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 281 out of 401 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating. In contrast, the nearby Forsyth Elementary School has significantly higher test scores and a higher 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. These factors suggest that Rosebud School may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, potentially due to resource constraints or other systemic issues.
