Among these schools, Terry Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking 73 out of 187 Montana middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Terry High School has faced challenges, with its state-wide ranking fluctuating and a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Racial diversity also varies across the schools, with Terry School having the most diverse student body, including 6.25% Hispanic, 6.25% Native American, and 7.5% two or more races.

Interestingly, all three schools in the Terry K-12 Schools district report the same spending per student of $15,156, suggesting a standardized funding model. However, the differences in performance and student-teacher ratios indicate that factors beyond just funding may be influencing the schools' outcomes. The district may want to investigate these factors and explore ways to improve the performance of all schools, particularly the high school.
