Before coming to Montgomery High my daughter struggled in school. The excellent teachers and caring administrators turned her around. They taught her the missing skills she needed and mentored her until she couldn't help but succeed! AP classes are not needed because duel enrollment is available at

I recently graduated from Montgomery County High School where I was very involved with many sports and various clubs and activities. I have always been pleased with the way things are ran at that school. There are of course going to be things that go wrong or things that no everyone agrees with, but

I attended MoCo schools from 6 - 12 grade. I think that it was an excellent school to attend and mature in. I think that most teachers really do care for their students and will go out on a limb for them. As with any school system their are flaws, but in recent years, the school board, faculty, and

Montgomery County is definitely NOT the world's best school...my daughter attends school there and was harrassed by other students up until her 9th grade year, when she started getting along with other students.

Montgomery County Schools was a great system in which to mature. As opposed to the alternatives in the area, I preferred the environment that it offered. There was a stong sense of community within the student body, but divisions still remain. I do feel that with the turning of a century, we should be

Comparatively speaking, the system is a relatively safe place...meaning that the potential for something major is there, but the likelihood appears slim. I was saddened to learn that the choral program was cut, and I haven't been updated as to its status. I would love to see/hear of this returning, for it benefits the students greatly.

I graduated from MCHS in '02. The school system is decent as long as the students are 'average', but anyone leaning to either end of the spectrum is going to run into problems. There are no AP courses for those who want to challenge themselves, and their LD department (my brother is highly dyslexic)

There's a decent-sized focus on band and/or sports and enough clubs for everyone; MCHS redeems itself with its extracurriculars, although there could still be many improvements.
