Middle Schools in Red Lodge Elementary

Summary:

The Red Lodge Elementary school district in Montana is home to a single middle school, Roosevelt Junior High, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school benefits from small class sizes, it has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and struggles with below-average academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, math, and science compared to the district and state averages.

Roosevelt Junior High's statewide ranking has dropped from 83rd out of 190 Montana middle schools in 2021-2022 to 156th out of 222 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom half of middle schools in the state. The school's ELA proficiency rate of 37.27% and math proficiency rate of 20% in 2024-2025 are both significantly lower than the Red Lodge Elementary district averages of 45.81% and 32.68%, respectively, as well as the statewide averages of 43.09% and 36.77%. While the school's science proficiency rate of 34.78% is slightly lower than the district and state averages, it is still an area of concern.

The high percentage of students (38.74%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Roosevelt Junior High suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be impacting academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $10,051 for the 2018-2019 school year is lower than the state average for Montana, potentially indicating funding challenges that could be contributing to the school's performance issues. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 could be a strength if leveraged effectively to provide more individualized attention to students.
