Summary

Winifred 6-8 is a public middle school in Winifred, Montana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 30 students. The school is part of the Winifred K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 96 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winifred 6-8 consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics, but its performance in Science lags behind the state average. The school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.6 to 10.3 students per teacher, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the challenges of a small student population and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Winifred 6-8 has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking among the top 30-50 middle schools in Montana. The school's personalized learning environment and strong financial investment in resources may be contributing factors to its success. However, the declining science proficiency and the needs of economically disadvantaged students are areas that the school may need to address to continue its positive trajectory.
