Garfield

Located in Jordan, Montana (ZIP code 59337), Garfield functions as an active supervisory union established to manage administrative oversight within a deeply rural, remote geographic setting. Serving as a foundational civic entity for the region, this open district coordinates broader educational services across Garfield County rather than operating a traditional centralized school building, reflecting its official designation without a primary physical street address. Community members, families, and educational researchers can connect with the administration through the county’s official portal at garfieldcounty.com or directly via phone at (406) 557-6115.

According to federal education metrics for the 2024–2025 academic year, the district maintains zero directly operational schools and does not offer direct grade-level instruction from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Instead, Garfield’s primary mandate focuses on administrative continuity, managed by a dedicated team of two full-time equivalent support staff members. This streamlined staffing profile and specialized governance model highlight the district’s role in supporting public education infrastructure across one of the most sparsely populated stretches of east-central Montana.
