Summary:

The city of Roundup, Montana, is home to three public schools: Roundup Elementary, Roundup High School, and Roundup 7-8 (Middle School). These schools serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Roundup Elementary and Roundup High School districts.

The school performed well in English Language Arts, with 53.85% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 54.99%. However, it struggled in Mathematics and Science, with only 29.63% and 14.81% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the state averages of 31.25% and 30.03%. Roundup 7-8 (Middle School) also performed better than Roundup Elementary in English Language Arts and Science.

Overall, the schools in Roundup appear to be underperforming compared to the state averages, with all three schools having 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The district may need to address systemic issues, such as resource allocation and support for economically disadvantaged students, to improve educational outcomes for all students. The high free and reduced lunch rates at all three schools suggest that the Roundup community faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be impacting student performance.
