MONFORTON SCHOOL

Monforton School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Monforton Elem school district, located in Bozeman, MT with about 226 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. With about 12 teachers, Monforton School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Monforton School, located in the Gallatin Valley just outside of Bozeman, Montana, serves as a K-8 public school that balances a traditional academic environment with the unique rural character of its surrounding community. Situated at 6001 Monforton School Rd, the school is known for its strong connection to the local families it serves, often acting as a focal point for the neighborhood. It is recognized for maintaining smaller class sizes compared to the larger urban districts in Bozeman, which allows for a more personalized approach to student learning and faculty engagement.

Academically and culturally, Monforton School emphasizes both core curriculum standards and the development of the "whole child." The school’s rural setting provides unique opportunities for outdoor education and community involvement, fostering a tight-knit campus culture.
