This school goes ABOVE AND BEYOND for its students. Caring teachers, a hard-working principal, and the school board and superintendent are very involved with the students. It provides a lot of opportunities for kids despite being a small school.

Great teachers and nice community, we're newer and have enjoyed the school.

Poor communication practices implemented at this school. Principal does not respect children. Outsiders not welcomed and brand name kids can get away with most things. Pricipal unwilling to compromise-know-it-all attitude from principal.

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.
