Barbara Gilligan 7-8

Summary:

Barbara Gilligan 7-8 is a small middle school in Brockton, Montana, serving 26 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Culbertson Elementary school district, which is ranked 292 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key differentiator of Barbara Gilligan 7-8 is its significantly higher percentage of Native American students, ranging from 93.1% to 96.15% over the past three years. In contrast, nearby schools like Culbertson Junior High and Poplar 7-8 have more diverse racial compositions. However, this lack of diversity at Barbara Gilligan 7-8 may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to its students.

Academically, Barbara Gilligan 7-8 has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 0% in Mathematics, 8.7% in Reading, and 6.25% in Science, significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Montana middle schools, suggesting that it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. While the school's student-teacher ratio has improved in recent years, the persistent academic underperformance warrants further investigation and intervention.

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.
