I have been a student at Montgomery Hight Schoo now for 3 years and I think that it's acadmemics are simply awful.

Whereas History and Language (spanish and english are what I am speaking about) are almost a joke. More teaching and learning and less busy work.

Montgomery is not the worst school as many have seemed to have stated on these reviews, but, Montgomery is a bit more concerned with its varsity sports and fundraising than academic factors which should be taken highly into consideration. The school, also, is not very diverse in terms of ethnic backgrounds.
