Billings West High School

• Billings High School District, MT
• 9-12
• 222 reviews

Alum: Overall, I had a pretty solid experience at West High. The facilities could use some updates and the administrators could work a little harder. The teachers were great, and extracurricular clubs and sports were awesome. And although the school isn’t that diverse, it does well academically. It could use some updated resources, but I felt set up for college when I graduated. West is Best!

Billings Senior High School

• Billings High School District, MT
• 9-12
• 301 reviews

Senior: Senior High was a very enlightening experience in that it brought me out of the Elementary school lull and into a very exciting and busy world. Diversity is one of Senior High’s most proud accomplishments, the students here will experience a little more of the world outside of Billings, Montana. The clubs and activities are numerous, there is definitely an activity for every individual to participate in, and if there is not, the students have the opportunity to create a new club that interests them. Senior High is very adamant about preparing it’s students for college, and by offering as many AP and College level courses as possible, the students are very well through almost their entire first year of college after they graduate high school! Senior High is by no means any average school, it is quite possibly one of the most experiential high schools one can attend.

Joliet High School

• Public School
• Joliet, MT
• 9-12
• 14 reviews

Senior: Joliet High School has only about 150 students. I like the small class sizes. Being able to communicate freely between peers. I like how the connection between teachers and students is always professional and yet supportive.

I would like to see the implementation of more electives that give a broader variety of choices to those students who want to participate in something other than what is currently offered.

Huntley Project High School

• Huntley Project Public Schools, MT
• 9-12
• 21 reviews

Senior: Throughout the years, Huntley Project has been a very good school to go to. A large majority of the staff are awesome and very helpful. There are various activities that this school has, making it a good place to go to learn and have fun. The only downside is that it is in a rural area, making travel difficult for some, especially when harsh weather hits, but that is not something that can really be changed. Huntley Project has been good to me and many other kids.

Skyview High School

• Billings High School District, MT
• 9-12
• 183 reviews

Senior: Skyview High School is a magnificent place to go to school. There are so many opportunities and so much to do. The staff is eager to help out where they can; all you need to do is ask. The view is stunning, though, students and staff alike rarely step out to see it. The halls are built wide to reduce traffic flow. Students respect each other and follow unspoken rules-such as walking on the right side of the halls and stairwells-with pride for their school. Homecoming, TWIRP, and Prom are the events of the year! The Homecoming parade brings in thousands of children from the numerous schools around town to see the display of school spirit that Skyview provides. Our spirit is practically seeping out of the walls. I wouldn't transfer schools for the world. I love it so much that I'd take an extra year if they offered it.
