Summary:
The city of Harlem, Montana is home to three public schools: Harlem Elementary School, Harlem High School, and Harlem 7-8 middle school. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Harlem Elementary and Harlem High School districts.
Based on the available data, the schools in Harlem, Montana are performing significantly below the state average on key academic metrics. All three schools have proficiency rates that lag behind the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, Harlem High School's proficiency rates are just 16.67% in ELA and 9.38% in Math, compared to the state averages of 54.99% and 31.25%, respectively. The schools also have low statewide rankings, with Harlem Elementary and Harlem 7-8 middle school both receiving 0-star ratings.
Additionally, all three Harlem schools have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, coupled with the poor academic performance, suggests that the schools may be facing significant challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. While the schools have relatively high spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratios, the data points to a need for a closer examination of resource allocation and utilization to address the root causes of the underperformance.
