MALTA K-5

Malta K-5 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Malta K-12 Schools school district, located in Malta, MT with about 231 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th 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 17 teachers, Malta K-5 has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Malta K-5, located at 706 South 3rd Avenue East in Malta, Montana, serves as the primary elementary education hub for the local community. As a public school facility, it provides foundational academic instruction for students ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade. The school is integrated into the Malta Public Schools district, which plays a central role in the small, rural community of Phillips County by providing a focused learning environment tailored to the developmental needs of young children.

The school is characterized by its commitment to fostering early academic skills, social development, and community connection in a small-town setting. By concentrating on the K-5 demographic, the institution aims to build a strong educational baseline for students before they transition to middle and high school levels within the Malta district. With its location in the heart of Malta, the school functions not only as an academic provider but as a community staple dedicated to supporting the growth and success of the region's youngest learners.
