Summary

Nashua 6-8 is a small public middle school in Nashua, Montana, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of just 16 students. The school is part of the Nashua K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 268 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Nashua 6-8 has shown mixed performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school outperforms the district in English Language Arts and significantly outperforms in mathematics, it lags behind the state averages in both subjects. In science, Nashua 6-8 performs better than the state but worse than the district. Compared to the nearby Frazer 7-8 school, Nashua 6-8 significantly outperforms in all subject areas, but when compared to the larger Glasgow Middle School, Nashua 6-8 falls behind in academic performance.

Nashua 6-8 serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 62.5% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the state average. However, the school invests significant resources in its students, with a spending per student of $14,209 and a very low student-to-teacher ratio ranging from 5.4 to 8.5 in recent years. These factors may contribute to the school's strengths, particularly in mathematics, but further analysis and targeted interventions could help Nashua 6-8 improve its overall academic performance and better serve its student population.
