School Overview
Westby 7-8, located in the small town of Westby, Montana, serves as the middle school division of the Westby School District. Situated in the far northeastern corner of the state, the school operates within a close-knit, rural educational environment. Because of its remote location, the school emphasizes a personalized approach to learning, typically benefiting from smaller class sizes that allow teachers to provide focused attention to students during these formative middle school years.

The school is an integral part of the Westby community, acting as a hub for local academic and extracurricular activities. By focusing on the unique developmental needs of seventh and eighth graders, Westby 7-8 aims to bridge the gap between elementary education and high school readiness. The institution reflects the values of a typical Montana rural school, prioritizing community connection, fundamental academic preparation, and a supportive atmosphere for its student body.
