Lockwood K-12

The Lockwood K-12 school district in Montana consists of one high school, one middle school, and two elementary schools (Lockwood Primary and Lockwood Intermediate). While the district invests in smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 12.2 to 15.4, the schools consistently underperform compared to the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

Lockwood High School ranks above average for the state, but its test scores are significantly below the state average, with only 45.37% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 21.1% in Mathematics, and 23.15% in Science. The school has a very high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 98.19%, indicating a high-need student population. Similarly, Lockwood Intermediate ranks below average for the state, with only 33.23% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 28.48% in Mathematics, and 33.93% in Science.

The consistently low test scores and high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients across the Lockwood K-12 district suggest systemic challenges that need to be addressed. While the district is investing in smaller class sizes, this investment does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Additionally, the district's rankings have declined over time, indicating a lack of progress or improvement within the schools.
