What stands out at Broadview 7-8
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Broadview 7-8 enrolls fewer students than most Montana schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Broadview 7-8's 35.0% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Broadview 7-8 is a mid-sized middle school in Broadview, Montana, enrolling 20 students.
Class loads run heavy: 20:1 is larger than about 98% of Montana schools and 69% above the 11.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Enrollment of 20 puts it in the smaller third of Montana schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 826 scored Montana schools.
Its student body is predominantly White (95% of enrollment) (diversity index 10/100).
