Middle Schools in Lame Deer Elementary

The Lame Deer Elementary school district in Montana is home to a single middle school, Lame Deer 7-8, which serves grades 7-8. This school stands out for its predominantly Native American student population and its consistently low academic performance compared to state averages.

Lame Deer 7-8 has a student population of 89, with 97.75% of students identifying as Native American. The school's academic performance is significantly below state standards, with only 1.2% of students proficient or better in reading, 0% in math, and 0% in science. This has resulted in the school ranking 186th out of 187 middle schools in Montana, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite higher-than-average spending per student at $7,826, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.8 is slightly lower than the state average.

The challenges faced by Lame Deer 7-8 are reflective of broader systemic issues within the Lame Deer Elementary school district, which is ranked 299th out of 300 districts in the state and also has a 0-star rating. This suggests that the educational opportunities and resources available to the predominantly Native American student population in this area may be limited, and that targeted interventions and support are needed to address these disparities and improve academic outcomes.
