Summary:

The 59255 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with very little racial diversity. Unfortunately, the academic performance across all the schools is consistently low, with proficiency rates in core subjects like math and reading well below the state averages.

The Poplar School, Poplar High School, Poplar 7-8, and Poplar 5-6 School are all ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state of Montana and are rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating they are performing well below average. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,787 to $15,601, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes.

The lack of diversity and consistently low academic performance across the schools in the 59255 zip code area suggest systemic challenges that need to be addressed. With the right strategies and support, these Poplar Elementary and Poplar High School schools have the potential to better serve their students and the community.
