Our school is a great little school that provides individual care and instruction for all of our students. We are a Pre K-8 school, not Pre K -6 school as this site states. I have had six children attend k-8 and all six are successful adults that have attended and/or graduated from higher ed.

I went to this school and my children now go to it and i believe they are able to offer much more individual education to their students due to small class sizes.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
