Billings H.S. is a high school district located in Yellowstone County, Montana, serving 5,610 students across 3 high schools. The district experienced a slight enrollment decline of 0.9% from the prior year, suggesting stable but gently contracting student population. With 323 teachers on staff, the district maintains a student-teacher ratio of 17.4:1, which is typical for secondary education settings.
The district operates with a total budget of $83.5 million, generating revenue from diversified sources: 50.5% from local funds, 38.9% from state contributions, and 10.6% from federal sources. This funding structure indicates moderate reliance on local resources. However, per-pupil spending of $6,851 falls significantly below Montana's state average of $11,207, representing approximately 61% of the state average. This funding gap of roughly $4,356 per student may constrain resource availability compared to higher-funded districts statewide.
As an urban-based district, Billings H.S. serves a city locale population. The district's configuration as a high school-only system suggests it may be part of a larger county or regional educational structure where elementary and middle schools operate separately or through other administrative entities. The modest enrollment decline and stable operational structure indicate a mature district managing consistent but slightly decreasing demand for its programs.
