Broadus School

Summary:

Broadus School is an elementary school in Broadus, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 112 students. The school is part of the Broadus Elementary District, which is ranked 216 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Broadus School's performance on state tests is mixed compared to the state and district averages. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 35% in Mathematics, 38.33% in Reading, and 35.29% in Science. While the Mathematics and Science scores were slightly below the state averages, the Reading score was higher. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some years seeing higher proficiency rates and others lower. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 students per teacher, which may indicate a more personalized learning environment for students.

Broadus School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 22nd out of 194 elementary schools in Montana in 2007-2008 to 207th out of 332 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school does not provide data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and the challenges the school may be facing.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
