Scobey 7-8 has shown strong performance in state assessments, particularly in reading, with a 64.29% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 46.03%. However, the school's performance in mathematics and science is more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.67% to 42.86%. The school spends $10,435 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.8 to 20.9 students per teacher.

While Scobey 7-8 has historically performed well, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 65th out of 200 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 80th out of 187 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its high level of academic achievement. Additionally, the school's predominantly white student population may limit the diversity of perspectives and experiences within the school community.

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.
