Montana American Indian Student Achievement Data Report Fall 2017

Students and the work of schools are filled with stories of struggle and resilience. Education is not simply the pushing of buttons or pulling levers to manufacture students that graduate college and career ready. It is about the people that employ strategies to support students. This data report is presented as only part of the story. Information contained within are not endpoints or conclusions, but should lead to questions, ideas, and discussions to find ways to improve educational outcomes for all students. It is important to apply thoughtful supports and interventions while students are in our schools, surrounded with caring teachers, staff, and communities, so that after they walk across the stages at graduation, they have the opportunity to enroll in colleges and have fulfilling careers to the betterment of the state of Montana.
