Summary:
The city of Terry, Montana is home to three schools - Terry School (an elementary school), Terry High School, and Terry Middle School - all part of the Terry K-12 Schools district.

Additionally, Terry Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 272nd out of 332 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 203rd out of 401 in 2024-2025, and it has performed better than the district and state averages in mathematics proficiency.
Despite these mixed results, the schools in Terry, Montana face significant challenges, including disparities in test score performance, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, and small school sizes, which may present unique obstacles and opportunities. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in Terry.
