YAAK SCHOOL

The Yaak School is a rural K-8 elementary school that has served an isolated mountain community in Northwest Montana for almost 100 years. This two room school currently has 9 students, one teacher, one fulltime paraprofessional aide and one part time paraprofessional special needs aide... Despite the isolated status of the school, students from the Yaak School have repeatedly tested well on mandatory state tests. Perhaps this is due to the amount of individual teaching time each student gets in this small school, or the high level of parent involvement, or the dedication of everyone helping the school to succeed. Actually, all of the above are true. We are glad we have the opportunity to share our unique school with you.
