Noxon 7-8

Summary:

Noxon 7-8 is a small public middle school in Noxon, Montana, serving 21 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Noxon Elementary School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Noxon 7-8 has a predominantly white student population, ranging from 76% to 89% over the past 3 years, with a notable Hispanic population of 7% to 10%. Academically, the school has shown mixed results - its reading proficiency of 65% is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, but its math proficiency of 10% is much lower than the state's 37%. The school's statewide ranking among Montana middle schools has fluctuated, from as high as 82nd out of 187 schools to as low as 173rd out of 190. However, Noxon 7-8 maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 to 8.2, compared to the nearby Trout Creek 7-8 school's ratio of 15.

While Noxon 7-8 has a higher percentage of Hispanic students than the nearby Trout Creek 7-8 school, the significant gap in math proficiency between the school and the state average suggests a need for improvement in this subject area. The school's inconsistent statewide ranking may also indicate a need for more consistent and effective educational strategies. However, Noxon 7-8's efficient resource allocation, as evidenced by its lower spending per student compared to Trout Creek 7-8, could be a strength that allows for more personalized attention for its students.

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.
