Middle Schools in Lambert Elementary

Summary:

Lambert 7-8 is the sole middle school serving grades 7-8 within the Lambert Elementary district in Montana. With a total enrollment of 19 students, the school's academic performance is a concern, as it lags behind state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $16,722 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9:1, Lambert 7-8 has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 99th out of 123 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 169th out of 222 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's performance is lower than the overall Lambert Elementary district, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the middle school's underperformance.

Another notable finding is the high percentage of students (31.58%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This socioeconomic challenge may be impacting the school's academic achievement, and further investigation into the school's strategies for supporting economically disadvantaged students would be valuable.
