Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59920


Summary:

The 59920 zip code area is home to two schools - Kila School, an elementary school, and Kila 7-8, a middle school. While the elementary school maintains consistent performance, the middle school stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 35th out of 187 Montana middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kila 7-8 Middle School demonstrates strong academic results, with 47.22% of students proficient or better in Math and 48.65% in Reading on the Montana state tests, outperforming the state and district averages. The school also boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which may contribute to its success. In contrast, Kila School Elementary ranks lower (186th out of 332 Montana elementary schools), but has maintained a consistent 2-star rating and performed above the state average in Science proficiency.

Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity. The similar per-student spending of $7,695 for the 2018-2019 school year suggests that factors beyond financial resources, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in the performance differences between the two schools. Overall, the analysis highlights the strengths of Kila 7-8 Middle School and the consistent performance of Kila School Elementary, while also identifying potential areas for further exploration, such as the lack of racial diversity and the factors driving the performance differences.
