Summary

Lockwood High School is a public high school in Billings, Montana, serving 552 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lockwood K-12 District, which is ranked 262 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lockwood High School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. Its performance on ACT with Writing assessments is significantly lower than the state average, with only 45.37% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.99%. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (21.1%) and Science (23.15%) are also well below the state averages of 31.25% and 30.03%, respectively. Additionally, Lockwood High School has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 98.19% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 25.33% to 49.97%.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.4 in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 12.7 to 20 students per teacher. This suggests that the school may be allocating resources towards smaller class sizes, but this does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement. The school's challenges present an opportunity for the district to identify and address the specific needs of its student population, potentially through targeted interventions, additional resources, and collaboration with the community.
