Summary:
The 59538 zip code area is home to three schools that are part of the Malta K-12 Schools district. This includes one elementary school (Malta K-5), one middle school (Malta 6-7-8), and one high school (Malta High School). The district is ranked 149 out of 300 in Montana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, the standout performer appears to be Malta 6-7-8, the middle school. It has the highest statewide ranking, the best proficiency rates in reading and the second-best in math, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6. In contrast, Malta High School lags behind, with the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in math and science.
Across the schools, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 72.65% to 76.22%, with Native American students making up the next largest racial group. Interestingly, all three schools report the same spending per student of $10,856, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the performance differences observed between the schools.
