School Overview

Based on public educational data, here is a summary description of the Kingsbury Colony Attendance Center:

Kingsbury Colony Attendance Center is a small, public K–8 school located in rural Valier, Montana. It serves as an extension of the Valier Elementary/High School District, specifically established to provide educational services to the children living within the local Hutterite colony community. Due to its location, the school operates as a specialized facility, functioning as a satellite classroom that ensures students in the colony have access to state-mandated curriculum and instruction while remaining within their community setting.

Because of its unique placement, the school maintains a very small student body and a low student-to-teacher ratio. The academic program focuses on delivering foundational core subjects, including reading, writing, and mathematics, while adhering to Montana’s educational standards. As a remote attendance center, it plays a vital role in bridging the gap between traditional public education requirements and the distinct lifestyle and cultural needs of the Kingsbury Colony families.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
