Savage School

Summary:

Savage School is an elementary school in Savage, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 76 students. The school has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from the 6th best elementary school in Montana in 2003-2004 to the 269th best in 2022-2023, a drop of 263 positions. This indicates a relative decline in the school's performance compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Savage School's performance on state tests is consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates in mathematics (25%) and reading (30%) significantly lower than the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 10 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby West Side Elementary and Rau School. This suggests potential challenges in terms of funding and resources, which could be impacting the school's ability to provide the necessary support and attention to its students.

When compared to the nearby West Side Elementary and Rau School, Savage School appears to be underperforming, with both of these schools having higher statewide rankings and better test scores. Additionally, the nearby Sidney Elementary and Rau Elementary districts have more diverse student populations, which could be an area for Savage School to explore in terms of understanding and addressing the needs of a more diverse student body.

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.
