Summary:

Wise River School is part of the Wise River Elementary district, which is ranked 103 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wise River School has demonstrated impressive academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (50%) and Mathematics (50%) exceeding the statewide averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's statewide ranking has also improved over time, moving from 143 out of 356 Montana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 111 out of 401 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has increased from 3 to 4 stars.

Despite its small size, with a low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, Wise River School spends a relatively high amount per student, at $21,216 in the 2018-2019 school year. This investment in the school's educational program may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. However, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the school's socioeconomic demographics and how that may impact its performance.
