Summary

Browning Middle School is a public middle school in Browning, Montana, serving 368 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Browning Elementary District, which is ranked 332 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Browning Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Montana middle schools over the past decade, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.4% of Browning Middle School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 43.09%. The school's feeder school, Browning Elementary School, also performs poorly, with similar proficiency rates.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 14.2 students per teacher in recent years. This ratio is lower than the state average and may suggest smaller class sizes, which could potentially benefit student learning. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population may be crucial in improving the school's performance.
