Summary:

The Poplar Elementary school district in Montana is home to two middle schools: Poplar 5-6 School and Poplar 7-8. Both schools are struggling academically, with significantly lower test scores compared to the state average.

Poplar 5-6 School has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 11.97% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 10.17% in Math, and 5.56% in Science. Poplar 7-8 performs slightly better, with 20.37% proficient or better in ELA, 10.09% in Math, and 11.36% in Science. Both schools have a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at $14,787, which is significantly higher than the state average, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes. Poplar 7-8's statewide ranking has also been declining, dropping from 179 out of 187 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 200 out of 222 in 2024-2025. The data suggests the need for a closer examination of the schools' resource allocation and instructional practices to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Poplar Elementary district.
