#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Does School of Rock win the Battle of the Bands?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

No, the School of Rock (the band name for Dewey Finn’s class) does not win the official Battle of the Bands competition.

Here are the specific details regarding the ending:

The Winner: The first-place prize is awarded to No Vacancy, the flashy, professional band that kicked Dewey Finn out at the beginning of the movie.
The Performance: Despite not winning the trophy, the School of Rock performs an original song written by the class's lead guitarist, Zack Mooneyham (titled "School of Rock"). The performance is a massive success with the audience.
The Crowd’s Reaction: After No Vacancy is announced as the winner, the crowd begins chanting "School of Rock! School of Rock!" demanding an encore.
The Encore: The band returns to the stage to play an encore—a cover of AC/DC’s "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)"—while the credits begin to roll.
The Moral Victory: Although they lose the official competition, the movie frames it as a victory. The parents, who were initially furious at Dewey for "kidnapping" their children, are won over by seeing their children’s talent and confidence on stage.
The Aftermath: The film ends showing that Dewey and Ned Schneebly have opened an after-school program called the "School of Rock," where Dewey teaches the kids how to play and Ned teaches them music theory.

#A DIRECT ANSWER (VERIFIED ANALYSIS)

No, the School of Rock band does not win the Battle of the Bands. The first-place trophy and the $20,000 prize are awarded to No Vacancy, the band that Dewey Finn was originally kicked out of. However, the School of Rock's performance of an original song (written by Zack Mooneyham) is so well-received that the crowd chants for an encore. The band returns to play AC/DC's 'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)' during the credits. The film concludes with Dewey and Ned Schneebly running a successful after-school program called the 'School of Rock,' where Dewey teaches rock performance and Ned teaches music theory/beginners, with the full support of the students' parents.
