Middle Schools in Hot Springs K-12

The Hot Springs K-12 school district in Montana has a single middle school, Hot Springs 7-8, serving grades 7-8. While the school has access to more resources compared to the state average, with higher per-student spending and a small student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science that are generally lower than the state averages.

Hot Springs 7-8's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 81st out of 190 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 123rd out of 200 in 2020-2021, suggesting a potential decline in performance. The school's student population is predominantly White (63.64%), with a significant percentage of students identifying as two or more races (27.27%) and a smaller percentage of Native American students (9.09%).

When compared to the overall Hot Springs K-12 district and the state of Montana, Hot Springs 7-8's reading and science proficiency rates are higher, but its math proficiency rate is lower. The school's higher resource allocation does not appear to be directly translating to stronger academic outcomes, and further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.
