Swan Lake-Salmon Elem

Located at 23187 Highway 83 in Swan Lake, Montana, the Swan Lake-Salmon Elementary School District operates as an active, independent public school district dedicated to serving local children from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Set within a remote rural landscape in Lake County, this single-school district functions as a vital educational anchor for its surrounding community. Uniquely structured outside of a supervisory union, the district maintains a specialized focus on early childhood, elementary, and middle school instruction tailored to the distinct needs of its geographic region.

The district offers an exceptionally tailored academic environment, currently educating a intimate student body of four pupils. Instruction and administrative operations are sustained by a robust staff relative to its student population, featuring 2.5 full-time equivalent teachers alongside instructional aides and essential support personnel, bringing total district staffing to just over ten full-time equivalent positions. This remarkable educator-to-student ratio fosters an individualized learning environment where students receive direct, focused support, standing as a compelling model of small-scale, community-centered public education.
