Broadus 7-8

Summary:

Broadus 7-8 is a public middle school in Broadus, Montana, serving 38 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Broadus Elementary School District, which is ranked 216 out of 300 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broadus 7-8 has consistently underperformed the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency on the Montana State Tests, with proficiency rates of 28.95% in mathematics and 26.32% in reading, compared to the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking among Montana middle schools has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 4th out of 156 schools in 2011-2012 to a low of 144th out of 187 schools in the most recent 2022-2023 school year, indicating a significant decline in the school's performance relative to other middle schools in the state. However, the school's lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.1 to 10.9 students per teacher, could be a potential advantage.

Interestingly, while Broadus 7-8 is part of the Broadus Elementary School District, the elementary school has outperformed the middle school in both mathematics and reading proficiency on the Montana State Tests. This raises questions about the continuity of academic standards and support between the elementary and middle school levels. Additionally, Broadus 7-8 has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, which may indicate a lack of diversity and representation within the school community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
