Overall, the data paints a mixed picture of the schools in the 59001 zip code area. While Absarokee 6-8 Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, the elementary and high schools face challenges in terms of test scores and resource allocation. The district may want to explore ways to replicate the middle school's success and address the lack of diversity across the schools.
