Longfellow School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Baker K-12 Schools school district, located in Baker, MT with about 142 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade 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.
