Huntley Project Elementary K-6 has a predominantly white student population, with 87.35% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Bench School and Bitterroot School, which have more diverse student populations.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 14.9 over the past three school years, the school's academic performance suggests a need for improvement in student learning outcomes. Further investigation into the school's free and reduced lunch rates and other socioeconomic factors could provide valuable insights into the challenges the school may be facing and the support it needs to improve student success.

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.
