Summary:
The 59521 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Rocky Boy School and Box Elder School, both of which serve students from kindergarten through 8th grade. However, based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, with both ranking very low in the state-wide school rankings.
Academically, both schools struggle significantly, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling far below the state averages. For the 2024-2025 school year, Rocky Boy School had only 11.93% proficiency in ELA, 2.84% in Math, and 5.56% in Science, while Box Elder School had 7.8% in ELA, 2.84% in Math, and 0% in Science. The state averages were 43.09% in ELA, 36.77% in Math, and 38.16% in Science.
Both schools also face significant economic challenges, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Rocky Boy School spends a relatively high amount per student, at $18,715 per student, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in this area. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty levels, and relatively low student-teacher ratios suggests that these schools may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of their student populations.
