Summary:
The 59317 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population, they exhibit varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation.
The standout school in the area is Powder River County District High School, which boasts the highest statewide ranking among the 3 schools and the best reading proficiency rate at 55.56%, well above the state average. However, the school struggles with mathematics proficiency, with only 5.56% of students proficient, significantly lower than the state average of 36.59%. In contrast, Broadus School has the highest overall proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science, but its middle school counterpart, Broadus 7-8, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates compared to the elementary school.
Funding and resources also vary among the schools, with Powder River County District High School spending the most per student at $22,910 and having the lowest student-teacher ratio of 8.3.
