BELT 7-8

Belt 7-8 is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Belt Elem school district, located in Belt, MT with about 44 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 8th 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 3 teachers, Belt 7-8 has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

Belt 7-8, located at 1 Church Street in Belt, Montana, functions as the middle school division of the Belt Public School District. Situated in a small, tight-knit rural community, the school serves students in seventh and eighth grades, acting as a bridge between elementary education and the high school experience. The school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes both academic growth and the personal development of its students, preparing them for the challenges of secondary education.

Because it is part of a smaller district, Belt 7-8 places a strong emphasis on community involvement and personalized instruction. The school utilizes its small-town setting to encourage meaningful teacher-student relationships and active parent engagement. Through their official website, the school maintains communication with families regarding academic calendars, extracurricular activities, and district policies, ensuring that the local community remains closely connected to the daily operations and goals of the middle school program.
