Summary:
The Hays-Lodge Pole K-12 Schls district in Montana has only one middle school, Hays-Lodge Pole 7-8, which serves a small population of 39 students, all of whom are Native American.

Hays-Lodge Pole 7-8 has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Montana middle schools, indicating that the school and district face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1 suggests that class sizes are small, but this alone does not guarantee high-quality instruction or academic success. The lack of diversity in the student population, with 100% Native American enrollment, may also point to issues of equity and inclusion that need to be addressed.
Overall, the data highlights the significant challenges faced by Hays-Lodge Pole 7-8 and the Hays-Lodge Pole K-12 Schls district in providing quality education to their predominantly Native American student population. Addressing the root causes of the low academic performance, exploring ways to improve resource allocation, and fostering greater equity and inclusion may be crucial steps in improving educational outcomes for this school and district.
