Richey Elem

Nestled in eastern Montana, the Richey Elementary School District operates as an independent public school system serving the rural remote town of Richey and its surrounding community. Located at 202 Royal Ave, this fully operational district oversees two school facilities dedicated exclusively to foundational education, spanning pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. For families, residents, and educational researchers, the district offers a tailored, community-centered academic environment designed to nurture young learners through their primary and middle school years before they transition to secondary education. District information and community updates are readily accessible through its official web portal at www.richey.k12.mt.us.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district educates a close-knit student body of 56 children, ranging from early childhood cohorts to small upper-grade classes. Learning is reinforced by a robust professional workforce, including approximately 12.5 full-time equivalent teachers, instructional support aides, and over 13 dedicated operational and support staff members, bringing total district personnel to nearly 27 full-time equivalents. This remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio enables highly personalized instruction, ensuring that each child benefits from direct teacher interaction, individualized academic support, and a tight-knit school culture focused on early student success.
