Summary:
Colstrip Elementary district in Montana has only one middle school, Frank Brattin Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance lags behind state averages, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science significantly lower than the rest of Montana. Despite a diverse student population, Frank Brattin Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of middle schools in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Frank Brattin Middle School has an enrollment of 132 students, with a racial makeup of 46.97% White, 34.85% Native American, 6.82% Hispanic, and 10.61% two or more races. The school's student-teacher ratio is 10:1, which could provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support. However, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting academic performance.
Overall, the data suggests that Colstrip Elementary district is facing challenges in providing a high-quality education at the middle school level. The consistent underperformance of Frank Brattin Middle School compared to state averages and its peers indicates a need for further investigation into the school's resources, teaching practices, and strategies to support its diverse student population and improve student outcomes.
