Summary:
The 59735 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Harrison K-12 Schools district. While the Harrison 6-8 middle school appears to be the strongest performer, ranking 149 out of 222 Montana middle schools, the schools in this area generally perform below the state average on key metrics like test scores and proficiency rates.
The Harrison High School ranks 178 out of 182 Montana high schools and has a 0-star rating, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing high schools in the state. All three schools have proficiency rates below the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and the high school has 0% proficiency rates on the ACT exam. Additionally, the schools have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.5% to 66.67%.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $14,182 for the 2018-2019 school year, the schools in the 59735 zip code area are struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the significant challenges these schools are facing, including consistently low performance, socioeconomic challenges, and declining enrollment, particularly at the high school level.
