About Plevna School
Plevna School serves 73 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Plevna, Montana. With a composite score of 9.3/10 and an Exceptional rating, it ranks #6 out of 603 public schools statewide — meaning Plevna outperforms 99% of all Montana schools. For a small public school, that outcome is genuinely rare.
The numbers behind that ranking are strong across the board. A 9.8/10 growth score leads the school's profile, signaling that students here gain academic ground faster than nearly any peer in the state. An academic achievement score of 8.1/10 confirms those gains translate into real proficiency.
Measured against elementary schools specifically, Plevna ranks #6 among 319 in Montana — a top performer at every level of comparison. A 9.1:1 student-teacher ratio gives teachers room to work directly with each student in ways that larger schools rarely can. With just 73 students spread across the pre-K-through-6 grade span, the school's scale enables a level of individual attention that shows up clearly in the growth data.
For parents evaluating elementary options in Montana, Plevna's record stands out.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 73 students, Plevna School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1, Plevna School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
Located in a rural area, Plevna School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
