School Overview
Arrowhead 7-8 is a rural, public middle school located in Pray, Montana, situated in the scenic Paradise Valley south of Livingston. As a small, community-focused institution, it serves students in the 7th and 8th grades, typically functioning as part of the broader Arrowhead Elementary District. Because of its remote location, the school emphasizes a close-knit learning environment where small class sizes allow for personalized instruction and strong relationships between students and staff.

The school is deeply integrated into its rural setting, often reflecting the values and lifestyle of the local Park County community. While it provides the core academic curriculum required by Montana state standards, it also benefits from its proximity to the natural landscape, which frequently informs its educational approach. Arrowhead 7-8 is designed to prepare students for the transition to high school by fostering academic responsibility and community engagement within a supportive, intimate educational atmosphere.
