Posted May 7, 2013

For a small town school I was surprised that the kids do learn their basics and then some. I felt that the overall material being taught was very thorough. Areas of improvement would be communication on events and web access such as online grades. Would like to see daily homework assignments posted somewhere online. Did not like the attitude from the teacher that 'there is nothing you can do' when the student was experiencing some difficulty in meeting deadlines or having trouble with material. Some of the staff reacts in a defensive manner when questioned about the lack of protocol. All and all the school is good, but could benefit from soft skill training.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
