Top rankedEkalaka 7-853^rd of 222 Montana middle schools

Summary:

The 59324 zip code in Montana is home to a single standout middle school, Ekalaka 7-8. This small school, with just 25 students, has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, placing as high as 41st out of 123 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 53rd out of 222 in the 2024-2025 school year.

Ekalaka 7-8 boasts exceptional academic performance, with 95.45% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 57.14% proficient or better in Science for the 2024-2025 school year. These scores significantly outpace the state averages of 36.77% and 38.16%, respectively. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 16.6 likely contributes to its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.

While Ekalaka 7-8's Mathematics and Science scores are outstanding, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate of 31.82% is lower than the state average of 43.09%. This may indicate an area for improvement, but the school's overall consistent high performance and ranking suggest it is effectively supporting its students, even with 48% of them receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a common indicator of economic disadvantage.
