Summary

Lincoln 7-8 is a small public middle school in Lincoln, Montana, serving 15 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Lincoln K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 180 out of 387 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Lincoln 7-8 is its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 7.7 over the past few years, significantly lower than the state average. This suggests a more personalized learning environment for students. However, the school's performance on standardized tests has been somewhat inconsistent, with the school ranking as high as 43rd out of 200 Montana middle schools in 2020-2021 and as low as 135th out of 156 in 2014-2015. Additionally, 100% of the students at Lincoln 7-8 qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the challenges, Lincoln 7-8 appears to be investing significant resources into its students, with a relatively high spending per student of $13,411 for the 2018-2019 school year. This suggests that the district is committed to providing a quality education, even in the face of the school's small size and the economic challenges faced by its student population.
