Middle Schools in Bridger K-12 Schools

The Bridger K-12 Schools district in Montana has a single middle school, Bridger 7-8, which serves a small student population of just 25 students. While the school has demonstrated strengths in science proficiency, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 34th out of 200 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 120th out of 187 in 2022-2023.

Bridger 7-8's proficiency rates on state tests are lower than the Bridger K-12 Schools district and state averages in mathematics and reading, but higher in science. This suggests the school may have particular strengths in science education that could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of personalized instruction and resource allocation.

The student population at Bridger 7-8 is predominantly White, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. This demographic composition may be reflective of the broader community and could have implications for diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within the school and district. Overall, the data suggests that Bridger 7-8 is a small middle school with a mixed academic performance profile, and the district may need to focus on targeted improvement efforts to address the school's declining statewide ranking and academic weaknesses in mathematics and reading.
