This rural school is a tremendous disappointment. The teachers have not kept up to date on the current trends in education.

Deer Park is a small school with great teachers and parental involvement, they participate in all activities of the school. I have had 2 children through this school, my mom works volunteer here and we love everyone there. The school is academically sound and expect kids to learn in a fun structured environment.

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.
