Terry K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Terry K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three schools: Terry Elementary School, Terry High School, and Terry Middle School. While the district as a whole underperforms the state average in academic proficiency, Terry High School stands out as a relative success, ranking 99 out of 182 Montana high schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Terry Elementary School performs better than the district average in mathematics, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8. In contrast, Terry Middle School struggles, with only 4.76% of students proficient or better in mathematics. The district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Despite the district's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance remains inconsistent. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the performance gaps, particularly in mathematics and science, could be key to improving educational outcomes for all students in the Terry K-12 Schools district.
