Summary

Rosebud 7-8 is a small public middle school in Rosebud, MT, serving 15 students in grades 7-8. While the school has a very low student-teacher ratio and outperforms the state in science proficiency, it lags behind in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages. Rosebud 7-8 is part of the Rosebud K-12 District, which is ranked 303 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosebud 7-8 has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio than the nearby Forsyth 7-8 school, ranging from 1.8 to 7.6 over the past few years. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts (35.71% proficient or better) and Mathematics (28.57% proficient or better) are lower than the state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. Interestingly, the Forsyth Elementary district, which includes the Forsyth 7-8 school, outperforms Rosebud 7-8 in several key metrics, including test scores and free and reduced lunch rates.

Despite its low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student ($31,111 for the 2018-2019 school year), Rosebud 7-8's statewide ranking has declined from 149 out of 156 Montana middle schools in 2014-2015 to 139 out of 222 in 2024-2025, even as its SchoolDigger star rating has increased from 0 to 2 over the same period. This suggests that the school may be improving relative to its own past performance, but still lags behind many other middle schools in the state.
