Manhattan 5-8 consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Montana, with a statewide ranking of 23rd out of 187 middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's proficiency rates in state tests are significantly higher than the state averages, with 52.97% proficient or better in Mathematics, 61.86% in Reading, and 50.91% in Science.

While Manhattan 5-8 is providing a high-quality education, there may be opportunities to further improve student outcomes, particularly in areas where the school's proficiency rates are lower than the state average, such as Mathematics. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity may be an area to address, as promoting a more inclusive and diverse school community can have positive impacts on student learning and development. Overall, Manhattan 5-8 is a standout middle school in the region, but there are still areas for potential 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.
