Troy 7-8

Summary:

Troy 7-8 is a small public middle school in Troy, Montana, serving 64 students in grades 7-8. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuating statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings over the years.

While Troy 7-8 performs better than the state average in Reading, its proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science are lower. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to Libby Middle School, but this does not seem to be directly translating into higher academic achievement across all subject areas. The school's predominantly White student population may be a factor in its performance, as research has shown that demographic factors can influence student outcomes.

Troy 7-8's statewide ranking has ranged from 106 out of 187 middle schools in 2022-2023 to as low as 141 out of 161 in 2010-2011. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also been inconsistent, starting at 1 star out of 5 for several years and improving to 3 stars in recent years. Addressing the areas of lower proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and Science, could be a focus for the school to improve its overall academic 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.
