Summary:
The Billings High School district in Montana comprises six high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 255th out of 387 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating, suggesting room for improvement in overall performance. However, the data reveals significant variation in the quality and performance of individual schools within the district.
Among the standout schools is Billings West High School, which is ranked 30th out of 182 Montana high schools and has a 4-star rating. This school outperforms the district and state averages in 11th-grade ACT test scores for English, Math, and Science, and has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 30.12%. In contrast, Billings Multilingual Academy struggles with 0% proficiency in all three subject areas on the ACT test.
The data also reveals the presence of specialized school models, such as the Billings Early College School, which has a very high student-teacher ratio of 50:1, and the Billings Opportunity School, which has the highest free/reduced lunch rate in the district at 70.51%. These differences in school performance and student demographics suggest potential equity concerns within the Billings High School district that may require further investigation and targeted interventions.
