Townsend K-12 Schools

Townsend K-12 Schools is an active, traditional public school district based at 201 N Spruce in Townsend, Montana. Situated in a remote rural setting within the broader Helena metropolitan region, the district serves as a vital educational hub for the local community, operating three school facilities that encompass a complete pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade curriculum. Independent of any supervisory union or charter network, the district provides a seamless learning continuum tailored to rural students, supported by centralized administrative services accessible directly in town or through its official web portal.

According to federal educational profiles for the 2024–2025 academic year, Townsend K-12 Schools maintains an enrollment of 733 students across all grade levels. The student body—comprising 389 male and 344 female learners—reflects a predominantly White demographic (651 students), alongside Hispanic (38), multiracial (33), Native American (5), Black (3), Asian (2), and Pacific Islander (1) youth. To foster an engaged and supportive learning environment, the district employs a dedicated workforce of approximately 188 full-time equivalent staff members. This team includes over 105 full-time equivalent teachers, 12 instructional aides, and 70 support staff, ensuring a low student-to-staff ratio that reinforces both academic development and well-rounded student services.
