How Plevna School compares with Montana and U.S. medians
What stands out at Plevna School
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Plevna School is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Montana schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Plevna School serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Plevna School is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Plevna, Montana, enrolling 60 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 8.6:1 puts it in the smaller third of Montana schools by student-teacher ratio.
With 60 students, its enrollment sits close to the Montana median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 826 scored Montana schools.
Its student body is predominantly White (100% of enrollment) (diversity index 0/100).
11.7% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
The surrounding Plevna K-12 Schools spends $31,358 per pupil, 58% above the Montana average, a better-resourced district than most.
