Summary:
The 59247 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Medicine Lake K-12 Schools district. While the district as a whole performs below average compared to other Montana districts, the data reveals some notable differences between the individual schools.
The Medicine Lake School (elementary) has the highest enrollment with 48 students and the most diverse student population, with 14.58% Native American students. In contrast, the Medicine Lake 7-8 (middle school) has the lowest enrollment at 12 students and the highest percentage of white students at 91.67%. Academically, the middle school stands out, with the highest proficiency rates in both math and reading, outperforming the elementary school and the overall district and state averages.
Despite the high per-student spending of $19,972 across all schools, the district's overall performance is below average, ranking 220 out of 300 districts in Montana. This suggests the district may face challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience, especially at the high school and middle school levels with their small enrollments. Nonetheless, the data highlights the middle school as a relative bright spot, offering insights into the strengths and areas for improvement within the Medicine Lake K-12 Schools district.
