City in Montana
Current Resident: My wife and I love living in Billings! It's one of the few cities in Montana where "regular" people may still be able to afford a home, which we were able to do. We have quite a selection of stores and restaurants close to our neighborhood, and even more throughout the city. There's more to do here than in most cities in MT, though if you're coming from a big city, you'll probably miss some amenities. I came from a very small town in MT, so Billings is quite a change for me. There are ample outdoor recreation opportunities in town and even more close to town. We have always felt safe in our neighborhood and in most places around town. Like most cities in America, Billings does have drugs and crime. Unfortunately, that's really not something you can get away from even in Montana. Again though, if you're coming from a big city, Billings is pretty tame. We were able to find great careers here and look forward to our next few years in Billings!... Read 198 reviews

Suburb of Billings, MT
Former Resident: Lockwood is just a suburb of Billings but it is the one in which I grew up. I may be biased but I'm the type of person you want to hear from when looking at a neighborhood. Lockwood was my stomping ground. I knew where all my friends houses were and how to get to each safely. Lockwood Elementary and Middle school prepared me for my future education by the enthusiasm of the teachers I had. I have currently moved away from Lockwood for college but my family still lives there. The look of Lockwood has changed for the better over the years. New school additions, a new fire station, and new housing have expanded Lockwood into a great place to live. Lockwood square is a fun hangout since you will eventually know everyone who works there. Most everything you need is in Lockwood. The abundance of friendship and a great community will bring me back to Lockwood after college and to raise a family!... Read 30 reviews

Town in Montana
Current Resident: I've been going to school in laurel for many years and I've done many activities with my community. If you are looking for a small town with friendly faces and plenty of food choices, you've come to the right place. If there is a need in the community, neighbors are more than willing to help out. There's family events, good schools, and you can't beat our fourth of July fireworks show. There is a wide variety of churches available, and only a short drive away is Billings. Great town....

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews

Nearby Resident: The town of Joliet is comprised of a community of people that take care of their own. Most often then not when a friend is in need someone is always around to help. Something I would like to see change or assist with the repair of is the town's water wells. Over the years the continued use of these wells has taken a toll on them. Our town's population is just a little over 600 people of all ages and there is not a lot of money that can be put towards these well systems. Yes of course we get governmental and state help but a little extra is always needed.... Read 2 reviews

St. Michael's taught me how to think, to write, to problem-solve, to speak up and draw my own conclusions, and to self-advocate. I am truly grateful for the foundation St M gave me!...

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 53 reviews
