Middle Schools in Circle Elementary

The Circle Elementary school district in Montana is home to two strong-performing middle schools: Redwater School (grades 4-6) and Redwater 7-8 (grades 7-8). Both schools are consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, with Redwater 7-8 currently ranked 36th out of 222 middle schools in Montana.

Redwater 7-8 stands out as a particularly high-performing school, with test scores that exceed the state averages in both English Language Arts (54.84% proficient or better) and Mathematics (64.52% proficient or better). The school is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well above average. Redwater School also performs well, with 44.44% proficient or better in ELA and 55.56% in Mathematics, exceeding the state averages.

Despite the relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools (51.61% at Redwater 7-8 and 45.83% at Redwater School), the schools are still able to achieve strong academic outcomes. The similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the two Redwater schools suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to their academic success.
