Summary:

The 55768 zip code area is home to two high schools: Mountain Iron-Buhl Secondary, a public school serving grades 7-12, and East Range Academy of Technical-Science, a public charter high school serving grades 9-12. While both schools have similar graduation and dropout rates, their academic performance and school rankings differ significantly.

Mountain Iron-Buhl Secondary stands out as the stronger-performing school, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and higher proficiency rates in math and reading compared to the state averages. In contrast, East Range Academy of Technical-Science has a lower 1-star rating and significantly lower proficiency rates in these subjects. The difference in performance may be partly attributed to the socioeconomic factors, as East Range Academy has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 92.62%, indicating a higher-need student population.

While both schools have room for improvement in science proficiency, the data suggests that Mountain Iron-Buhl School District is better equipped to support student success compared to the East Range Academy of Technical-Science district.
