Nashua 6-8

Summary:

Nashua 6-8 is a small public middle school in Nashua, Montana, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of just 24. Despite its small size, the school stands out for its diverse student body and unique characteristics, though it faces some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance.

Nashua 6-8 has a more racially diverse student population compared to nearby schools like Frazer 7-8 and Glasgow Middle School. In the 2022-2023 school year, the racial makeup was 62.5% White, 4.17% African American, 8.33% Hispanic, 16.67% Native American, and 8.33% two or more races. Academically, the school has shown mixed results, with 30.43% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 34.78% proficient or better in Reading, which are lower than the state averages. However, the school's performance has improved over the years, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5, compared to 12.5 at Glasgow Middle School.

Despite these unique characteristics, Nashua 6-8 faces some challenges. The school's student population has been declining, from 29 students in 2020-2021 to 24 in 2022-2023, which could impact the school's resources and ability to provide a well-rounded education. Additionally, the school's academic performance has been inconsistent, ranking higher in 2021-2022 but lower in 2022-2023 compared to other Montana middle schools. While Nashua 6-8 outperforms the nearby Frazer Elementary district, it lags behind the academic achievements of Glasgow K-12 Schools. The school's leadership and the district will need to closely monitor the school's performance and implement strategies to address these challenges.

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.
