Summary:
The Lodge Grass Elementary district in Montana is home to a single elementary school, the Lodge Grass School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This school stands out for its extremely high Native American student population of nearly 99%, as well as its consistently low academic performance and statewide rankings.
The Lodge Grass School has struggled with proficiency rates well below the state averages in math, reading, and science, with less than 2.5% of students meeting proficiency standards. This has resulted in the school being ranked in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in Montana for the past three years, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite high per-student spending of nearly $15,000, the school has been unable to translate these resources into improved educational outcomes for its students.
The combination of low academic achievement, high poverty, and the school's remote location in Lodge Grass, Montana, suggests that students at this school may face significant barriers to educational equity and access. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for the students served by the Lodge Grass School.
