HARDIN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Hardin Primary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Hardin Elem school district, located in Hardin, MT with about 337 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd 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 30 teachers, Hardin Primary has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Hardin Primary, located at 314 W 3rd Street in Hardin, Montana, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Hardin School District.

The school plays a critical role in the local community by providing a structured learning environment designed to prepare young children for future academic success as they transition through the district’s grade levels.

Being part of the Hardin School District, the primary school reflects the district’s commitment to serving the unique needs of the Big Horn County area.
