Park City 7-8

Q: Is Park City 7-8 a good school?

Park City 7-8 ranks 118 th of 187 Montana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Park City 7-8 is a small public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the rural town of Park City, Montana, with a student population of just 50 students. While the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools and the state average, with test scores and statewide rankings in the lower tiers.

Compared to other middle schools in the region, Park City 7-8 stands out as the smallest and lowest-performing. Its test scores in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are significantly below the state averages, with only 20.83% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 36.59%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated but has consistently been in the bottom half of Montana middle schools, placing it at 118 out of 187 in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Further analysis reveals that Park City 7-8's student population is overwhelmingly White, with 92% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year. This lack of diversity is in contrast to nearby schools like Will James Middle School, Elysian Middle School, and Ben Steele Middle School, which serve more diverse student populations and outperform Park City 7-8 in various metrics, including test scores and statewide rankings. The school's small size, limited resources, and declining performance suggest it may be facing significant challenges in providing a robust educational experience 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.
