E F Duvall 7-8

Summary:

E F Duvall 7-8 is a small public middle school in Deer Lodge, Montana, serving around 90 students in grades 7-8. The school's academic performance has shown some fluctuations, with mixed results compared to the state and the local Deer Lodge Elementary district.

While the school's proficiency rates in Science (43.24%) were higher than both the district and state averages, its performance in Mathematics (28.24%) and Reading (49.41%) was lower than the state. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 45th out of 81 middle schools in 2015-2016 to 117th out of 200 in 2020-2021, indicating potential challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 13.6 over the past three years, may provide more individualized attention for students.

Without data on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, it's difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the school's performance. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the performance gaps in Mathematics and Reading could help E F Duvall 7-8 better support student learning and create a more inclusive environment as the school's demographic makeup evolves.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
