Middle Schools in Arlee Elementary

Summary:

The Arlee 7-8 middle school is the sole middle school serving the Arlee Elementary district in Montana. This small school serves grades 7-8 and has struggled academically, ranking 194 out of 222 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year.

Arlee 7-8 has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (18.37% vs. 43.09% state average), Mathematics (16.33% vs. 36.77% state average), and Science (25% vs. 38.16% state average) compared to the state averages. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and declining statewide ranking over the past few years suggest it is not keeping pace with other middle schools in Montana. With a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, the school serves a student population from low-income households, which can contribute to the academic challenges.

While the data does not provide a direct comparison, the fact that Arlee 7-8's proficiency rates are lower than those of Arlee Elementary (the elementary school in the same district) raises concerns about the effectiveness of the middle school's educational program and its ability to build upon the foundation laid by the elementary school. The school's struggles highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.
