Summary:
The Bonner 6-8 Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Bonner Elementary School District in Montana. While the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance appears to be below average compared to other middle schools across the state.
Bonner 6-8 Middle School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 60th out of 123 Montana middle schools in 2023-2024 to 170th out of 222 in 2024-2025, with a current 1-star rating indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.74%), Mathematics (8.42%), and Science (38.71%) all fall below the state averages, suggesting the school is struggling academically. Additionally, with 44% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Bonner 6-8 serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students than the state average.
Despite the low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 students per teacher, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention, the school's overall performance and academic outcomes remain a concern. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and areas for improvement would be necessary to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the school's challenges and potential solutions.
