Target Range Elementary

The Target Range Elementary district in Montana is home to two schools: Target Range School, an elementary school, and Target Range 7-8, a middle school. While both schools perform well, the standout in this district is the middle school, which has seen a significant improvement in its ranking and rating over the past few years.

Target Range 7-8 is now ranked 17th out of 187 Montana middle schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a remarkable improvement from its previous rankings of 36th and 52nd in the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 school years, respectively. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 16 may contribute to its strong performance. In contrast, while Target Range School is also highly ranked, performing in the top 94 out of 332 Montana elementary schools, it has not seen the same level of improvement in its ranking over the past few years.

Both schools have a majority white student population, with Target Range School at 85.13% and Target Range 7-8 at 86.13%. The middle school, however, has a slightly more diverse student body, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Native American students compared to the elementary school. Unfortunately, the data set does not provide information on the free and reduced lunch rates for the schools, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations.
