Medicine Lake K-12 Schools

The Medicine Lake K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three small schools: Medicine Lake School (an elementary school), Medicine Lake High School, and Medicine Lake 7-8 (a middle school). These schools serve a rural community, with the largest school having just 48 students and the smallest having only 12 students.

The schools in the district have varying levels of racial diversity, with the elementary and high school having a higher percentage of Native American students compared to the middle school, which has a predominantly white student population. The schools' state-wide rankings have fluctuated over the years, with no clear trend of consistent improvement or decline, suggesting challenges in maintaining academic performance. Despite the small student populations, the district spends a significant amount per student, at $19,972 per student, which is much higher than the national average.

Overall, the Medicine Lake K-12 Schools district serves a small, rural community with unique challenges and characteristics. The data highlights the need to further investigate the factors contributing to the schools' academic performance and the impact of the district's high spending on student outcomes.
