The city of Trout Creek, Montana has two schools - Trout Creek School, an elementary school, and Trout Creek 7-8, a middle school.

While the student populations are predominantly white, there is some racial diversity, with a notable percentage of students identifying as two or more races.

Overall, the Trout Creek school district appears to be facing challenges, particularly with the declining performance of Trout Creek School and the small enrollments at both schools.
