Dutton/Brady Elementary

Summary:

Dutton/Brady Elementary is a small public school in Dutton, Montana, serving grades PK-8 with just 47 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science all below 30%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, placing it in the bottom 20% of elementary schools in Montana.

One key differentiator of Dutton/Brady Elementary is its predominantly white student population, with 91.49% of students identifying as white. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Power School, which have more diverse student demographics. The lack of diversity at Dutton/Brady Elementary may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to its students.

When compared to nearby schools in the area, such as Greenfield School and Power School, Dutton/Brady Elementary's academic performance is notably lower. These neighboring schools have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings, suggesting that the resources and interventions at Dutton/Brady Elementary may need to be re-evaluated to better support student learning and improve educational outcomes.

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.
