Summary

Superior 7-8 is a public middle school located in Superior, Montana, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 43 students. The school is part of the Superior K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 224 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Superior 7-8 has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8:1 to 10.4:1, significantly lower than the nearby Plains 7-8 (16:1) and St. Regis 7-8 (12.1:1), the school consistently underperforms the state and its nearby schools in terms of proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 36.59% in ELA, 30% in Math, and 43.48% in Science, compared to the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively.

Additionally, Superior 7-8 has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which is higher than the nearby schools. Despite the low academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, at $11,857 per student in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the spending at Plains 7-8 ($9,115 per student) and St. Regis 7-8 ($15,711 per student). This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes.
