Middle Schools in Marion Elementary

The Marion Elementary district in Montana is home to a single middle school, Marion 7-8, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 35 students. While the school's small size may offer a more intimate learning environment, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is consistently below the statewide averages in mathematics, reading, and science.

Marion 7-8's student population is overwhelmingly White, with very small percentages of other racial and ethnic groups represented. This lack of diversity may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 87th to 121st, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2. This trend suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state.

The challenges facing Marion 7-8 may be exacerbated by the fact that the Marion Elementary district is ranked 237 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may be facing resource challenges, such as limited funding or difficulty attracting and retaining high-quality teachers, which could contribute to the school's academic performance issues.
