Bridger K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Bridger K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three schools: Bridger Elementary School, Bridger High School, and Bridger 7-8. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate across all three schools.

Bridger High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 54 high schools in Montana and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Science are above the district and state averages. In contrast, Bridger Elementary School has shown strong performance in Science, with over 50% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages, but lags behind in Mathematics.

The student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, with Bridger 7-8 having the lowest ratio at 7:1, followed by Bridger High School at 9.9:1 and Bridger Elementary School at 11.4:1. The district's overall lower ranking suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in Mathematics proficiency across the schools.
