The 59820 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Alberton K-12 Schools district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Alberton High School has been a consistent performer, ranking among the top 40 high schools in Montana, the other schools in the district have faced challenges in recent years.

The Alberton Elementary School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 321st out of 356 in 2020-2021 to 273rd out of 332 in 2022-2023.

Despite the challenges faced by the other schools, the Alberton High School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade and has consistently ranked among the top 40 high schools in Montana. This indicates that the high school may be a relative strength within the district, even as the overall performance of the schools in the 59820 zip code area remains below the state average in areas such as math and reading proficiency.
