Summary:
The 59540 zip code is home to a single middle school, North Star 7-8, which serves grades 7-8 and has a total enrollment of 25 students. The school is part of the North Star Elementary School District, which is ranked 302 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
North Star 7-8 has seen fluctuating performance, ranking as high as 25 out of 187 Montana middle schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating, but dropping to 147 out of 222 schools in 2024-2025 with a 2-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the state averages for Montana, indicating that it may be struggling to meet academic standards. Additionally, the school has a high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 44%, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
With a relatively low spending of $9,860 per student and a small school size of just 25 students, North Star 7-8 may face challenges in providing a high-quality education and offering a diverse range of educational opportunities. The school's performance and the district's efforts to support and improve it will be crucial in ensuring that students in the 59540 zip code have access to a quality middle school education.
