Terry Middle School

Summary:

Terry Middle School is a small public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Terry, MT, with a total enrollment of 32 students. The school is part of the Terry K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 181 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Terry Middle School has a mixed performance compared to state and district averages. In 2022-2023, the school outperformed the district and state in reading proficiency but underperformed in mathematics and science. This fluctuating academic performance has been observed over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking ranging from 60th out of 149 middle schools in 2007-2008 to 182nd out of 200 in 2020-2021. The school's current ranking for the 2022-2023 school year is 73rd out of 187 middle schools in Montana, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One notable trend is the school's declining enrollment, dropping from 32 students in 2022-2023 to 23 in 2021-2022 and 18 in 2020-2021. This may be a concern for the school and district, as it could impact funding and resources. Unfortunately, the data provided does not include information about any nearby schools, so it is difficult to fully assess how Terry Middle School is performing relative to its peers.

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.
