Summary:

The 59313 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Longfellow School and Lincoln School, both part of the Baker K-12 Schools district. While Lincoln School has historically outperformed Longfellow School in terms of statewide rankings and academic metrics, both schools and the overall district appear to be underperforming compared to state averages, particularly in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Lincoln School has a higher historical ranking, reaching 56th out of 230 Montana elementary schools in the 2006-2007 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Longfellow School's highest ranking was 133rd out of 329 schools in 2021-2022, with a 3-star rating. Additionally, Lincoln School has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 10:1, compared to Longfellow School's 14.3:1, suggesting more individualized attention for students.

However, both schools face challenges, as Longfellow School's proficiency rates in core subjects are all below the state averages, and the Baker K-12 Schools district, which the two schools belong to, is ranked 218th out of 387 districts in Montana and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This indicates that the district-level performance may be influencing the individual school-level metrics, and further investigation into the factors driving these trends could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes in the area.
