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: We have one daughter in K at NPS (she started in nursery). We love NPS and could not be happier with our choice! She has been through so much change these past several years and it’s impossible to overstate how much social emotional growth and support she’s experienced at NPS. She’s also had tremendous academic growth and is reading, writing, doing simple math, is curious about the world and loves learning. Probably my favorite part about the school are the wonderful specials — my daughter loves the singing, art, music, drama, sports. She even comes home talking about what it means to be a good person based on the core values that are woven through the school lessons and chapels. We also love the administration and the laid back, modest parent community. NPS is a very special school!... Read 36 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

Alum: I was at Ideaventions from 7th grade through 12th grade, and it was a phenomenal experience. The teachers give high quality, engaging lessons. Roughly half of the classes are project based, even the English classes, something that I think is great when it comes to learning how to work effectively. The engineering classes are all hands on, where the classwork revolves around designing and building systems. The math curriculum is deep and efficient, the teachers present the information in an efficient manner that gets at the core axioms of a concept which us students then extrapolated and implemented in order to solve problems, a method I find to be far superior to the traditional approach of memorizing steps to solve problems. The clubs! These were the best part of the school, and there are all kinds of fun clubs. A few of my favorites were the Naturalist club, Inventor's club, Math Honors Society, Dungeons and Dragons club, and the Sysadmin club. I 100% recommend this school.... Read 12 reviews

Parent: The Admissions department made the application process seamless. They were easy to reach; gladly returned phone calls and inquiries; and, assisted with the application process during each step. Compared to other independent college prep institutions, RMA is a small school. However, we were thoroughly impressed with the diversity that we saw during the summer camp program; We were pleased to see that it carried over to the academic year. The curriculum is rigorous. The staff is caring. There are a variety of extracurricular activities that are day and boarding inclusive. Any family "on the fence" about RMA should definitely consider a second look, or reach out to staff. You'll be glad you did!... Read 173 reviews
