Summary:
The Harrison K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one middle school, Harrison 6-8, which serves grades 6-8. With a small student population of just 16 students, this school has faced significant fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, from a high of 19th out of 190 middle schools in 2021-2022 to a low of 149th out of 222 in 2024-2025.
Academically, Harrison 6-8 has struggled to meet state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.5%), math (31.25%), and science (0%) all falling below the Montana state averages. Despite spending more per student ($14,182) than the state average, the school's performance has been inconsistent, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1 could be a potential strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, the data indicates that Harrison 6-8 is a small, underperforming middle school that may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's fluctuating performance and low proficiency rates would be necessary to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
