Summary:
The 59259 zip code area is home to three small schools: Richey School (elementary), Richey High School, and Richey 7-8 (middle school). While the schools share some similarities, such as their small enrollments and predominantly white student populations, they also exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and resource allocation.
The standout school in the area is Richey 7-8 middle school, which previously ranked 29th out of 200 Montana middle schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance has since declined, with its ranking dropping to 165th out of 187 middle schools and its rating falling to just 1 star. This suggests a potential decline in the school's academic quality over the past couple of years. In contrast, Richey High School stands out for its higher spending per student, at $29,196 compared to $16,170 for the other two schools.
Across the three schools, the student racial makeup is predominantly white, ranging from 90% to 95.24%, with the only notable diversity being the presence of Native American students, who make up 2.38% to 10% of the student populations. This lack of racial diversity may be an area for further investigation and potential improvement. Additionally, the small school sizes, with enrollments ranging from just 10 students at Richey 7-8 to 42 students at Richey School, may provide opportunities for personalized attention but could also present challenges in terms of resource allocation and extracurricular offerings.
