Moore 6-8

Summary:

Moore 6-8 is a small public middle school in Moore, Montana, serving 14 students in grades 6-8. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, its academic performance and statewide ranking are significantly lower.

Academically, Moore 6-8 lags behind the state averages and nearby schools like Lewistown 7-8 and Lewis & Clark School. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (15.38%) and Reading (38.46%) were well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 59th out of 190 Montana middle schools in 2021-2022 to 146th out of 187 in 2022-2023, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Another notable difference is the school's racial makeup. While the nearby Lewistown Elementary and Hobson K-12 Schools have more diverse student populations, Moore 6-8 has a 100% White student body, which may indicate a need to explore factors contributing to this lack of diversity and consider strategies to promote greater 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.
