Summary:
The Smith Valley Elementary school district in Montana contains only one elementary school, Smith Valley Primary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 168 students.
Smith Valley Primary School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in mathematics (24.71%), reading (31.76%), and science (29.63%) all falling well below the state averages. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, declining from a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023, placing it 257th out of 332 Montana elementary schools. The student population is predominantly White (88.1%), with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which may impact the school's ability to provide a diverse and well-rounded educational experience.
While the specific free and reduced-price lunch rate is not provided, the lower academic performance and declining school ranking suggest that the school may be serving a population with socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students at Smith Valley Primary School.
