The 59038 zip code area is home to three schools that are part of the Hysham K-12 Schools district, including one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. While the schools share some similarities, such as consistent spending per student, they also exhibit notable differences in academic performance and student demographics.
The standout school in the area is Hysham School, which has shown strong performance in mathematics, with 77.27% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school lags behind in English Language Arts and Science proficiency. In contrast, Hysham High School has experienced a significant decline in performance, dropping from a ranking of 14 out of 129 high schools in 2011-2012 to 146 out of 182 in 2024-2025, indicating the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to this decline.
Across the three schools, there are stark differences in proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, suggesting potential curriculum or instructional challenges that need to be addressed. Additionally, all three schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.08% at Hysham School to 63.64% at Hysham 7-8, indicating the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and the availability of support services.
