Middle Schools in Winnett K-12 Schools

The Winnett K-12 Schools district in Montana has a single middle school, Winnett 7-8, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 13 students.

Winnett 7-8 has had a mixed performance record, ranking as high as 3rd out of 156 middle schools in Montana in 2014-2015 but declining to 55th out of 200 in 2020-2021 and 109th out of 222 in 2024-2025. The school outperforms the district and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, but 100% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite its small size, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 to 1 and spends significantly more per student ($19,077) than the state average.

Overall, Winnett 7-8 appears to be a unique and complex school, with both strengths and challenges. Its declining rankings and high spending per student suggest the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to its performance and the effectiveness of its resource allocation. The school's service to a highly economically disadvantaged population is also an important consideration in understanding its context and the support it may require.
