Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59645

Summary:

The 59645 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the White Sulphur Spgs K-12 school district. While the district as a whole lags behind state averages on standardized tests, White Sulphur Springs High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 19th out of 124 Montana high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The high school boasts impressive academic results, with 70% of students proficient or better in reading, 50% in science, and 30% in math - significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, the White Sulphur Springs Elementary and White Sulphur Springs 7-8 schools lag behind, suggesting the high school may be an academic bright spot in the district. The schools range in size from 38 to 91 students, with predominantly white student populations.

While the district allocates resources evenly, with all 3 schools reporting the same per-student spending of $11,599, the varying performance outcomes indicate that simply spending more may not be the sole solution to improving academic achievement. Further analysis would be needed to understand the drivers of the observed differences and develop targeted strategies for enhancing the educational experience and outcomes for all students in the 59645 zip code area.
