Middle Schools in Bridger K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Bridger K-12 Schools district in Montana contains a single middle school, Bridger 7-8, which serves grades 7 and 8. Based on the available data, Bridger 7-8 does not appear to be a standout performer academically, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics falling below the state average.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Bridger 7-8 had 33.33% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.09%.

However, the school performed better in Science, with 42.86% of students proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 38.16%. The school's statewide rankings have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 80th out of 123 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 162nd out of 222 in 2024-2025.

One notable factor about Bridger 7-8 is its high free and reduced lunch rate of 100%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7 to 1 is a positive aspect, but it does not appear to be enough to overcome the academic challenges faced by the school. Overall, the data suggests that Bridger 7-8 is a struggling school within the Bridger K-12 Schools district, and the district and school leadership may need to explore strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for the students.
