Summary

Terry School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 92 students in Terry, MT. The school is part of the Terry K-12 Schools district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 270 out of 387 districts in Montana.

Terry School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects, is generally lower than the state averages but higher than the district averages. The school's proficiency rates in MAST/English Language Arts (36.17%) and MAST/Mathematics (51.06%) for 2024-2025 are above the district's average, but below the state average. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Montana State Tests/Mathematics (24.49%) and Montana State Tests/Reading (28.57%) are lower than both the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's proficiency rate in Montana Science Assessment/Science for 2024-2025 is 15.38%, which is lower than the district and state averages.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Terry School, ranging from 58.7% in 2024-2025 to 60.92% in 2023-2024, indicates that the school serves a population with a lower socioeconomic status. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Terry School, which was $15,156 for the 2018-2019 school year, the school's academic performance suggests that the district's resource allocation may not be effectively translating into higher student achievement.
