Middle Schools in Medicine Lake K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Medicine Lake K-12 Schools district in Montana contains a single middle school, Medicine Lake 7-8, which serves grades 7-8. With an enrollment of only 16 students, this small school has seen fluctuating performance, ranging from a 1-star to 2-star statewide ranking in recent years.

While Medicine Lake 7-8 boasts a strong 46.67% math proficiency rate, its ELA and science proficiency scores lag behind the state averages at 31.25% and 14.29% respectively. The school spends a high $19,972 per student, but it's unclear if this investment is translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. One bright spot is the school's extremely low 5.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which may allow for more individualized attention and support.

Overall, the data highlights both strengths and challenges for Medicine Lake 7-8. The small school size, fluctuating performance, and mixed academic results suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across all subject areas.
