I think this is a great school with lots of potential. Everyone is so nice and helpful. They are open minded on education and activities. The lunch menu they prepare has a great variety of foods. My child loves it, she rarely wants me to make her a lunch. The only thing that needs major improvement is the drop off pick up and before and after school. Basically its every child for themselves. There is nobody directing and overlooking the system. Kids are jumping out of cars in the middle of the line. Parents are passing cars in the line dropping there kids off to cut through moving vehicles. After school parents will park and not move in the line, or park and get out and leave the car sitting there. Nobody can move. It is very poorly planned and it is a recipe for disaster.

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.
