Summary

Roberts 7-8 is a public middle school in Roberts, MT, serving 18 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Roberts K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 252 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 6.5 to 9 students per teacher, Roberts 7-8 has consistently underperformed the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 31.58% in ELA, 15.79% in Math, and 15.38% in Science, compared to the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 100% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

While Roberts 7-8 spends more per student ($15,371 in 2018-2019) than the nearby Columbus Elementary, Belfry K-12 Schools, and Joliet Elementary districts, which range from $11,267 to $21,120 per student, the school's academic performance has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 6th out of 164 middle schools in 2004-2005 to 186th out of 222 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it is allocating its resources to better support student learning and address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
