Fred Moodry Intermediate School has a steady, down-to-earth feel that Anaconda families often mention. The math proficiency usually lands somewhere in the mid-range, shifting a bit depending on the mix of students each year. The teacher–student ratio feels like one teacher working closely with a small group, which helps the classrooms stay calm and gives kids enough room to ask questions without feeling shy. Compared with nearby elementary programs like Lincoln and the younger grades at Washoe Park, Fred Moodry feels more structured, but still warm enough for kids who are just getting used to upper-elementary routines. A typical three-bedroom rental in this part of Anaconda usually sits in the low-to-mid two-thousand dollars range, with newer or remodeled homes costing more. After Fred Moodry, students move on to Anaconda Junior-Senior High School. Many former students end up working in fields like mining-related trades, digital tech help, carpentry, healthcare support, hospitality, early education, and outdoor recreation—jobs that fit the character of the town. Parents say the school communicates clearly, keeps routines simple, and creates a steady place where kids adjust well. It’s the kind of school where children grow with a calm, steady pace.
