Summary

Savage School is an elementary school located in Savage, MT, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 64 students. It is part of the Savage Elementary School District, which is ranked 143 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Savage School has shown some academic strengths, outperforming the state average in Mathematics proficiency in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's performance in Mathematics and Reading has been inconsistent over the past few years, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 57.58% in Mathematics and 30% to 48.48% in Reading. Compared to nearby schools like West Side Elementary, Savage School lags behind in Mathematics proficiency. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 10.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby West Side Elementary (12.6) and Rau School (10.0).

One concerning trend at Savage School is the significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 4.11% in 2023-2024 to 25% in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could impact academic outcomes. Additionally, Savage School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,538, which is lower than the nearby West Side Elementary ($10,283) and Rau School ($13,191). Despite these challenges, Savage School remains committed to providing a quality education to its students, and further investigation into the school's strategies and support systems could help identify areas for improvement.
