Carter County High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Carter County H S school district, located in Ekalaka, MT with about 34 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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.
