Middle Schools in Helena Flats Elementary

Summary:

The Helena Flats 7-8 middle school is the sole middle school serving the Helena Flats Elementary District in Montana. With a small student population of just 40 students, the school has seen improvements in its academic performance in recent years, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Helena Flats 7-8 has higher proficiency rates than the overall Helena Flats Elementary district in Math and Science, it lags behind in English Language Arts compared to the statewide averages in Montana. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $9,374 in the 2018-2019 school year suggests it is well-funded, which may have contributed to its improved performance.

Overall, Helena Flats 7-8 is a small, high-poverty middle school that has made progress in recent years, but still faces challenges in meeting statewide proficiency standards, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's unique demographics and resource needs may require targeted interventions and support to help its students succeed.
