Wibaux 7-8

Summary:

Wibaux 7-8 is a small public middle school in Wibaux, Montana, serving around 27 students in grades 7-8. It is part of the Wibaux K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 300 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Wibaux 7-8 has shown mixed academic performance on state assessments. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school outperformed the state average in reading (62.5% proficient or better) and science (61.54% proficient or better), but underperformed in mathematics (20.83% proficient or better). The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some years showing stronger results and others weaker. One potential strength of the school is its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.3 to 8.4 students per teacher in recent years, significantly lower than the state average.

Despite the school's small size, its spending per student is relatively high, at $20,675 for the 2018-2019 school year. This may present budgetary challenges for the school and the district, especially if enrollment continues to decline. Additionally, the school's predominantly white student population raises questions about its ability to serve a diverse student body and address potential equity issues, though the available data does not allow for a definitive conclusion on this matter.

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.
