Westby K-12 Schools

Located at 101 5th Ave East in Westby, Montana, Westby K-12 Schools serves as an essential educational hub for its surrounding rural remote community. As an open, traditional public school district operating three school facilities, it delivers a comprehensive, continuous academic pathway spanning from prekindergarten all the way through the twelfth grade. Its distinct geographic setting in northeastern Montana highlights the district's key role in bringing accessible, top-tier public education to a sparsely populated area, providing a welcoming academic home for local families.

In the 2024–2025 academic year, Westby K-12 Schools maintains an intimate learning environment with a total student body of 57 children, serving a population of learners that includes White, Hispanic, and American Indian students. The district is characterized by an exceptionally robust staffing ratio, employing 20 full-time equivalent teachers supported by dedicated instructional aides and support personnel—totaling over 36 full-time staff members. This remarkable allocation of resources creates an extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio of under three students per teacher, allowing educators to offer highly personalized instruction, strong mentorship, and tailored academic care to every student in the district.
