Summary:
Laurel Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Laurel Elementary district in Montana. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it currently sits in the bottom half of middle schools in the state, performing below the state average in key academic areas.
Laurel Middle School has a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, slightly lower than the state average, but its spending per student of $8,624 is below the state average. The school also serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.86% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may be contributing to the school's academic underperformance, which is lower than that of the local Laurel Elementary school in all subject areas.
Overall, the data suggests that Laurel Middle School is a relatively low-performing school within the state, with declining performance and potential funding and socioeconomic challenges. While the school's student-teacher ratio is slightly better than the state average, its academic outcomes and overall ranking indicate that there is room for improvement in order to better serve the needs of its students.
