Summary

Lockwood Intermediate is an elementary school in Billings, Montana, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 321 students. The school faces several key challenges, including declining academic performance, lower proficiency rates compared to the state and nearby schools, and a high concentration of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Lockwood Intermediate's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.23%), Mathematics (28.48%), and Science (33.93%) are significantly lower than the state averages (43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively). Compared to the Lockwood K-12 district, Lockwood Intermediate also underperforms in all three subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has dropped significantly, from 118 out of 123 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 271 out of 401 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of declining academic performance.

However, Lockwood Intermediate has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which is better than the state average and some of the nearby schools, such as Alkali Creek School and McKinley School, which have higher proficiency rates in all three subject areas. The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Lockwood Intermediate (96.26%) suggests that the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
