Summary:
The 59072 zip code in Montana has only one middle school, Roundup 7-8, which serves grades 7-8 with an enrollment of 89 students. While the school's academic performance has declined in recent years, falling behind the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, it continues to serve a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with nearly half of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Roundup 7-8's statewide ranking has dropped from 157th out of 190 Montana middle schools in 2021-2022 to 141st out of 222 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 1 star to 2 stars out of 5. This suggests that the quality of education at the school may be deteriorating relative to other middle schools in the state. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 students per teacher indicates that it is allocating resources towards smaller class sizes, though this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for students.
Overall, the data suggests that Roundup Elementary district, and specifically Roundup 7-8, is facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation would be needed to determine the root causes of the school's struggles and identify potential strategies for improvement.
