Evergreen Junior High

Q: Is Evergreen Junior High a good school?

Evergreen Junior High ranks 117 th of 187 Montana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Evergreen Junior High is a public middle school located in Kalispell, Montana, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 291. The school is part of the Evergreen Elementary District, which is ranked 201 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evergreen Junior High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Montana middle schools, ranking 117th out of 187 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This ranking and rating are significantly lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Somers Middle School (ranked 24th, 4-star rating) and Deer Park 6-8 (ranked 39th, 4-star rating). Evergreen Junior High's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science on the Montana State Tests are consistently below the state averages and the performance of nearby schools. The school also has a higher percentage of White students (88.32%) compared to the nearby schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 in the 2022-2023 school year, Evergreen Junior High's statewide ranking and rating have steadily declined over the past several years, from a 3-star rating and a ranking in the top half of Montana middle schools in the mid-2010s to a 2-star rating and a ranking in the bottom half in recent years. This trend suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance compared to other schools in the state, and further investigation into potential factors influencing its performance could help identify areas for improvement.

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.
