BROADUS SCHOOL

Broadus School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Broadus Elem school district, located in Broadus, MT with about 112 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Broadus School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Broadus School, located at 518 N. Trautman in Broadus, Montana, serves as the central educational hub for the Powder River County area. Operating as a public K-12 institution, the school is deeply integrated into the local rural community, functioning as a focal point for both academic instruction and extracurricular engagement. Given its location in a sparsely populated region of southeastern Montana, the school emphasizes a close-knit environment where students benefit from smaller class sizes and personalized attention from faculty.

The school’s curriculum and culture are designed to meet the unique needs of a rural student body, balancing standard academic requirements with opportunities for vocational and community-focused learning. Through its official website, broadus.net, the district maintains communication with families regarding school calendars, athletic schedules, and administrative updates. As a vital pillar of Broadus, the school plays a crucial role in preparing students for post-secondary success while preserving the traditions and community values characteristic of eastern Montana.
