Geraldine Middle School

Summary:

Geraldine Middle School is a small public middle school in Geraldine, MT, serving grades 7-8 with just 10 students enrolled. Despite its tiny size, the school has an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.6 to 7 students per teacher over the past three years, suggesting a highly personalized learning environment.

Academically, Geraldine Middle School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the Geraldine K-12 District and the state averages. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in math (40%) and reading (40%) were lower than the district and state, but in 2020-2021, the school outperformed the district and state in both math (58.33%) and reading (50%). This variability in test scores may be due to the school's small size and the impact of individual student performance on overall results.

One notable characteristic of Geraldine Middle School is its homogeneous student population, with 100% of students identifying as White. This lack of diversity may impact the school's cultural and educational experiences, though the personalized learning environment could be a significant advantage for students. Further analysis of the school's demographic and economic factors would provide additional insights into its strengths, challenges, and 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.
