Stanford 7-8

Summary:

Stanford 7-8 is a public middle school in Stanford, MT, serving 22 students in grades 7-8 as part of the Stanford K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 207 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Stanford 7-8 has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has experienced a significant decline in academic performance over the years. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated from 7th out of 149 middle schools in 2007-2008 to 162nd out of 187 middle schools in 2022-2023, and its proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 8.7% of Stanford 7-8 students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 24% for the district and 36.59% for the state. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $10,560 is lower than the $13,373 spent per student at the nearby Hobson 6-8 school.

Another notable aspect of Stanford 7-8 is its complete lack of racial diversity, with a 100% White student population, which is significantly different from the nearby Denton 7-8 (71.43% White, 14.29% African American, 14.29% two or more races) and Hobson 6-8 (89.29% White, 3.57% African American, 7.14% Hispanic) schools. Understanding the factors that contribute to these differences, as well as the school's declining performance, could provide valuable insights for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Stanford 7-8.

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.
