Montague Elementary

Summary:

Montague Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Montague, Texas, with a student population of 151. The school is part of the Montague Independent School District, which is ranked 122 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montague Elementary stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students significantly outperforming the state average on STAAR tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 80.77%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Additionally, Montague Elementary has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past five school years, which is significantly lower than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 13.7 over the past three school years, lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Muenster Elementary and Saint Jo Elementary, Montague Elementary generally outperforms them in academic metrics, including STAAR test scores and school rankings. However, the school has seen a steady decline in the percentage of Hispanic students, from 13.25% in 2022-2023 to 3.31% in 2020-2021, which may indicate a need to explore strategies to attract and retain a more diverse student population. Additionally, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may need to consider additional support and resources for students from low-income families.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
