Summary

Montague Elementary is a small, rural PK-8 school in Montague, TX, serving just 163 students and serving as the sole campus within the highly-ranked Montague Independent School District (Isd). This school has undergone a remarkable transformation, rising from a 2-star rating in 2019 to a consistent 4-star rating today, making it a standout academic leader in its area.

Montague Elementary’s most impressive strength is its extraordinary math performance in grades 6, 7, and 8, where proficiency rates are near-perfect and far exceed state averages. For example, 7th-grade math achieved 100% proficiency compared to the state’s 29.41%. The school also excels at serving its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group, and its male students rank in the 95th percentile. When compared to nearby schools, Montague Elementary outperforms Muenster Elementary in nearly every subject, despite Muenster having a much lower poverty rate. It also dramatically surpasses Saint Jo Elementary, Bowie Intermediate, and Nocona Elementary, particularly in math, where its scores are often double or triple those of its peers.

While the school shines in upper-grade math, its reading scores, though above state averages, are less dominant, and 4th-grade math proficiency (36.84%) lags behind reading (60%), suggesting a potential area for focus. Additionally, there is a notable performance gap between male and female students, with girls ranking in the 68th percentile. With a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, Montague Elementary provides an intimate environment that supports targeted instruction, making it a prime example of a small rural school achieving exceptional results through data-driven strategies and a supportive culture.
