Summary:
Charlo Elementary District in Montana is home to a single middle school, Charlo 6-8, which serves grades 6-8. This small, rural school has a student population of just 48 and faces some academic challenges, particularly in mathematics and science, but excels in English language arts.
Charlo 6-8 outperforms the state average in English language arts, with 51.16% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.09%. However, the school struggles in mathematics and science, with only 18.6% and 18.18% of students, respectively, reaching proficiency levels, well below the state averages of 36.77% and 38.16%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 is relatively low, which could be an advantage in providing personalized attention to students.
Over the past three years, Charlo Elementary has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, from 59th out of 123 Montana middle schools in 2023-2024 to 137th out of 222 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. This variability in performance may be an area of concern for the district and community. Additionally, the school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 100%, suggests that it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may require additional support and resources to address their unique educational needs.
