Middle Schools in Hardin Elementary

Hardin Elementary School District in Montana is home to a single middle school, Hardin Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant academic and demographic challenges, with a predominantly Native American student population and consistently low performance on state assessments.

Hardin Middle School's academic proficiency rates in mathematics (8.18%), reading (12.63%), and science (19.29%) are all well below the state averages, indicating a need for substantial interventions to improve student outcomes. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Montana middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, reflecting its poor overall performance. The higher per-student spending of $9,921 suggests that resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning.

The school's demographic makeup, with 75.25% of students identifying as Native American, may contribute to the academic challenges. Targeted programs and resources to address the unique needs of this population could be beneficial. However, the lack of improvement in the school's ranking over the past three years suggests a need for a comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues and support the success of Hardin Middle School and its students.
