The middle school, Seeley Lake 7-8, also performs relatively well, with the second-highest statewide ranking and strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

A notable characteristic of the Seeley Lake schools is the high poverty level, as evidenced by the extremely high free and reduced lunch rates at Seeley Lake Elementary and Seeley Lake 7-8. This high poverty level may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed in these schools, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
