The school is very small and does not have a great deal of diversity in athletic programs. Parking was hard to find when I visited this school. School needs more athletic programs like soccer, tennis, softball, swimming facilities, or something girls can play other than basketball. The music program could be a little more developed. The staff, athough very talented, seems to be streatched pretty thin. They would benefit by either having more parent involvement or hiring a few more teachers. Some students have the same teacher for several classes.

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.
