Summary:
The 59024 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Custer K-12 Schools district. The standout school in this data set is Custer 7-8, the middle school, which ranked 8th out of 187 Montana middle schools and had significantly higher reading proficiency rates than the district and state averages.
Custer 7-8 boasts a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.8, suggesting a high level of individual attention for students. In contrast, the other schools in the area have higher ratios, with Custer Elementary having the highest at 11.4. Academically, Custer 7-8 stands out, with 73.33% of its students proficient or better in reading, compared to the district average of 41.82% and the state average of 46.03%.
The student populations across the 59024 schools are predominantly white, ranging from 90.91% at Custer Elementary to 100% at Custer High School. This lack of racial diversity is an area worth further investigation to understand the local community and any potential barriers to diversity. Additionally, the absence of free/reduced lunch data for the individual schools limits the ability to analyze socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the schools' performance.
