Lone Rock Middle School

Q: Is Lone Rock Middle School a good school?

Lone Rock Middle School ranks 124 th of 187 Montana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lone Rock Middle School is a small public middle school in Stevensville, Montana, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 65. While the school has a predominantly White student body, it stands out with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools.

However, Lone Rock Middle School has seen a concerning decline in its academic performance and statewide ranking in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science have fallen below the state averages, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 9th out of 81 middle schools in 2015-2016 to 124th out of 187 middle schools currently. This trend suggests the school may be struggling to maintain academic excellence, despite its smaller student-teacher ratio compared to neighboring schools like Washington Middle School and Clinton 7-8, which have consistently higher performance on state assessments and higher statewide rankings.

The factors contributing to Lone Rock Middle School's declining performance may include its small size, resource allocation, and the need to adapt instructional strategies to better support its diverse student population, including the higher percentage of Hispanic students. By identifying these key areas for improvement and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Lone Rock Middle School can potentially develop targeted strategies to address the challenges and improve student outcomes.

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.
