The Brockton Elementary district in Montana operates two schools: Barbara Gilligan School (elementary) and Barbara Gilligan 7-8 (middle school).

The middle school performs even worse, with only 5.88% proficiency in ELA and 17.65% in math. Both schools also have 0% proficiency in science, far below the state average of 38.16%. Additionally, both schools have a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating high levels of poverty among the student population.

Despite the low academic performance, the schools in the Brockton Elementary district spend a relatively high amount per student, at $18,043 per student. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the effectiveness of the spending.
