Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59748

Summary:

The 59748 zip code area is home to two schools - Ramsay School, an elementary school, and Ramsay Middle School. While Ramsay School demonstrates stronger academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in reading and science compared to state averages, Ramsay Middle School lags behind in both math and reading proficiency.

Ramsay School stands out with its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17:1, which may contribute to its academic success. The school is ranked 90 out of 212 Montana elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars. In contrast, Ramsay Middle School is ranked 74 out of 123 Montana middle schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars. The middle school's smaller enrollment of 45 students may limit the availability of resources and course offerings, potentially impacting its academic outcomes.

The data also reveals that Ramsay Middle School serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 57.78%, compared to Ramsay School's rate of 38.02%. This disparity in student demographics may be a factor in the performance gap between the two schools. Despite the differences, both schools share the same per-student spending of $9,810, suggesting that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the academic outcomes.
