Deerfield School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Deerfield Elem school district, located in Lewistown, MT with about 15 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th 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.

Deerfield School is a unique educational institution located within the Deerfield Hutterite Colony in rural Lewistown, Montana. As a public school operating under the jurisdiction of the local school district, it serves the children of the colony, providing them with a standardized K-8 education that aligns with Montana state curriculum requirements while operating within the specific cultural and communal framework of the Hutterite lifestyle.

Because the school is situated directly within the colony, it functions as a central hub for the community's youth. The educational environment is typically characterized by small class sizes and a close-knit atmosphere, where instruction is tailored to meet the needs of colony students. By maintaining this school on-site, the community ensures that students receive a state-accredited education while remaining deeply integrated into the religious and agricultural traditions of the Deerfield Colony.
