Middle Schools in Seeley Lake Elementary

Summary:

Seeley Lake Elementary in Montana has a single middle school, Seeley Lake 7-8, serving grades 7-8. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance on standardized tests is below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. With only 37 students, Seeley Lake 7-8 is a very small middle school, which may present unique challenges.

Seeley Lake 7-8 has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 56th out of 123 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 145th out of 222 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's spending per student is relatively high at $11,599, yet its test scores remain well below the state average. This suggests potential inefficiencies in resource allocation or the need for more targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

The data also reveals that Seeley Lake Elementary serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's struggles and underscores the need for additional support and resources to address the unique needs of the community.
