Summary:
The 59417 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools are consistently performing poorly compared to state averages, with low test scores, low statewide rankings, and a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The highest-ranked school in the area is Browning High School, which ranks 117th out of 124 high schools in Montana. However, this is still a very low ranking, and the school's test scores are significantly below the state averages. The elementary and middle schools in the data set all rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective school types in the state, with Napi School and Browning Elementary being among the lowest-ranked elementary schools.
The data also reveals that the schools in this zip code area have a very high percentage of Native American students, ranging from 96.76% to 98.96% of the student population. This, combined with the low-income demographics of the area, suggests that the broader community may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that are impacting the educational outcomes of the students. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending at some of the schools, the consistently poor performance indicates that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the specific challenges faced by this community.
