Reichle Elem, MT - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Reichle Elem

This is a very small, rural Montana school district that serves a single school for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The district’s enrollment is small, and the student body is entirely white, according to the data available. State testing data for math and reading was suppressed, likely because the number of tested students was too low to report publicly, so academic proficiency levels cannot be measured from the information provided. Science assessment results for a prior year were also missing. A parent considering this district should be aware that the lack of published test scores is a direct result of the tiny student population and does not necessarily reflect on the quality of instruction, but it does leave a gap in understanding academic performance.

The district has one school, Reichle School. Because it does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report. The chronic absenteeism rate places the district above the midpoint among Beaverhead County’s districts. Per-pupil current spending falls in the lower range compared to other districts in the county, which may reflect the small scale of operations. No information was available on free or reduced-price meal eligibility, special education identification, or English learner status, so the level of student support services and economic need in the community is not documented in the data.

The district’s locale and community context were not provided, and a search for recent district-level changes or initiatives turned up no parent-relevant information beyond basic enrollment and fiscal records. Housing data for the area, weighted to the district’s ZIP code, shows a typical home value that is near the national benchmark but below the Montana state benchmark. A parent looking at this district would be working with a very small, rural educational environment that serves a single school with no published academic results and limited publicly available information about its programs or direction. This setting fits families who prefer a small-scale, close-to-home school in a rural Montana area and who are comfortable relying on direct inquiry with the district for the details that are not in the public record.
