Lambert School

Summary:

Lambert School is an elementary school in Lambert, MT, serving 66 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Lambert Elementary District, which is ranked 257 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lambert School is struggling, with only 22.5% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, 20% in Reading, and 15.38% in Science, significantly below the state averages. This low performance has been consistent over the past few years, and the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 57th out of 247 elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 293rd out of 332 in 2022-2023. Despite spending $16,722 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively supporting student learning.

The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.3 to 8.1 over the past three years, could be an advantage, but without data on nearby comparison schools or the socioeconomic status of the student population, it's difficult to fully understand the school's performance. The lack of this contextual information makes it challenging to assess how Lambert School is doing relative to its peers and what factors may be contributing to its declining academic 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.
