School Overview
Belfry 7-8 is a small, rural public middle school located in the town of Belfry, Montana. Serving students in seventh and eighth grades, the school operates as part of the Belfry School District, which is known for its close-knit, community-focused environment. Due to the remote nature of the region, the school emphasizes a personalized approach to education, leveraging its small size to foster strong relationships between students, teachers, and the local community.

The school is housed at 200 Wisconsin in Belfry, serving as a critical educational hub for families in this sparsely populated area of Carbon County. Like many schools in rural Montana, Belfry 7-8 focuses on foundational academic instruction while providing students with the benefits of a low student-to-teacher ratio. This setting allows for a supportive atmosphere where students can transition from elementary education toward high school readiness within a stable, small-town environment.
