Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59014

Summary:

The 59014 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Bridger K-12 Schools district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools share some common strengths, such as relatively low student-teacher ratios, they also face varying challenges in academic performance and statewide rankings.

Bridger Elementary School has maintained a consistent 2-star statewide ranking over the past three years, suggesting a need for improvement to reach higher performance levels. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (32.84%), Reading (43.28%), and Science (40%) are all below the state averages. In contrast, Bridger 7-8 Middle School had a strong 4-star ranking in 2020-2021 but has since dropped to 2 stars, indicating a decline in performance that warrants further investigation.

The most significant concern lies with Bridger High School, which experienced a dramatic drop in its statewide ranking, going from 5 stars in 2021-2022 to only 1 star in 2022-2023. This notable decline suggests a need for the district to closely examine the factors contributing to this performance shift, such as changes in academic achievement, student demographics, or resource allocation. Additionally, the high school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (30%) and Science (10%) are significantly lower than the state averages, while Reading (40%) is also below the state average.
