Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59088

Summary:

The 59088 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Huntley Project K-12 Schools district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the middle school, Huntley Project 7-8, stands out as the highest-performing among the 3 schools, the data suggests inconsistent performance across grade levels within the district.

Huntley Project 7-8 is ranked 106 out of 222 Montana middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest among the schools in the area. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in Math proficiency. In contrast, Huntley Project High School appears to be the weakest performer, with the lowest state-wide ranking and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data also suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student performance, as the Huntley Project Elementary K-6 has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 50.24%. Additionally, the consistent spending per student across all 3 schools, despite their varying performance, raises questions about how resources are being allocated and utilized within the district.
