Corvallis 7-8

Summary:

Corvallis 7-8 is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Corvallis, Montana, with a student population of 212 and a predominantly White racial makeup. While the school has a history of strong academic performance, ranking among the top middle schools in the state, its statewide ranking and rating have declined in recent years.

Corvallis 7-8 has consistently outperformed the state average in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency on the Montana state tests, with proficiency rates of 35.58% in mathematics, 40.87% in reading, and 38.3% in science in 2022-2023, compared to the state averages of 36.59%, 46.03%, and 37.03%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 14.6 over the past three school years, which is lower than nearby schools like Lone Rock Middle School (13.9) and Stevensville 7-8 (13.9), but higher than Hamilton Middle School (15.9).

However, the school's statewide ranking and Corvallis K-12 Schools district rating have declined in recent years, from a high of 16th out of 60 middle schools and a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to 97th out of 187 and a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's racial makeup is less diverse than some of the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White students (86.79% in 2022-2023) and lower percentages of minority groups, which could be an area for the school to focus on in terms of promoting diversity and inclusion.

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.
