Winifred 6-8

Summary:

Winifred 6-8 is a small public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the rural town of Winifred, Montana, with just 27 students enrolled as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, this school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, thanks to its exceptional academic performance and low student-teacher ratio.

Winifred 6-8 has a long history of academic excellence, reaching as high as 2nd out of 171 middle schools in Montana in the 2003-2004 school year and 6th out of 200 schools in 2020-2021. The school's test scores in mathematics, reading, and science are consistently above the state averages, indicating a robust curriculum and effective teaching practices. However, the school's ranking has dropped to 67th in the state in the most recent 2022-2023 school year, which could signal a potential decline in performance that should be monitored.

While Winifred 6-8 has a predominantly White student population, the school has seen a slight increase in racial diversity in recent years. The school also benefits from high spending per student, which is significantly above the state average. This additional funding may be used to provide more resources and support for the students, contributing to the school's academic success. However, the lack of racial diversity may limit the students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives, which can be important for their personal and academic growth.

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.
