Moore School

Summary:

Moore School is a small elementary school in Moore, MT, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of just 34 students. Despite its small size, this school stands out as an exceptional educational institution, consistently outperforming the state and its local Lewistown Elementary district in academic proficiency.

In the 2022-2023 school year, an impressive 68.75% of Moore School students were proficient or better in both mathematics and reading, compared to just 44.83% and 55.17% for the Lewistown Elementary district, and 36.59% and 46.03% for the state of Montana, respectively. This consistent academic excellence has earned Moore School a ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools in the state, placing 14th out of 332 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 8.2 over the past three years, likely contributes to its strong performance.

While Moore School stands out for its academic achievements, its racial makeup is significantly less diverse compared to nearby schools like Highland Park School and Garfield School, with 97.06% of its students identifying as white. This could be an area of interest for further investigation, as it may have implications for the school's curriculum and teaching practices. Nonetheless, Moore School's efficient use of resources, with $16,301 spent per student, suggests that the school is effectively allocating its funds to support its students' academic 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.
