List of school districts in Montana explained

This is a list of school districts in Montana. Many schools in Montana are self-administered — that is, not part of a larger district — and are thus counted as individual districts by the state of Montana and the National Center for Education Statistics.

The U.S. Census Bureau counts elementary school districts and unified K-12 school districts as separate governments, while the high school districts are dependent on their elementary school districts. No Montana school systems are dependent on other layers of government.^[1]
