Summary:

Richey Elementary School District in Montana is home to a single middle school, Richey 7-8, which serves students in grades 7 and 8. Despite its small student population of only 09 students, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $16,170, likely due to the need to maintain a low student-teacher ratio of 4.7 to 1.

Academically, Richey 7-8 outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but lags behind in Science. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 104th out of 222 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 165th out of 187 in 2022-2023, with a current rating of 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or variable over time, and there may be an opportunity to focus on improving science education and outcomes.

Additionally, Richey 7-8 has a relatively high percentage of students (44.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This suggests that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged students.
