As a parent of MHS, I am disappointed in the consistancy in positive treatment and discipline of the students. Not all is bad. The ability to learn is provided, it is up to the individual student to grasp and absorb the information. There are great students that do not strive to obtain help when needed,

On a more positive note, speaking of good teachers.. . Coach and teacher, Brian Williams is a great asset to MHS! he sets a positive example for our students boyh in a classroom and field. He deals with the young men(women,too) in ways to help them to mature positively. He teaches that the ultimate test of a man is to disaree and yet still be a true team! Thanks. Read less

As a senior at Montgomery High School I have enjoyed the environment and the faculty quite well. The student per teacher ratio is just right. The teachers are actually able to teach instead of trying to control the students. They are accepting of new students. The dress code is somewhat good, but it

I think that Montgomery High School is a good school. The students are not wild and everyone gets along.

I have found montgomery teachers to be very helpful whenever my child has a problem academically. Social problems however leave something to be desired. I do think the kids get away with alot, simply by the teachers not seeing what is going on. I dont know if they simply turn a blind eye to what the

As a parent of a student who attends MHS, I have to say that I am pleased with our school. Even though we do not receive the funding that Grant High School and Dry Prong Junior High does, our school manages to hold its own through fundraisers and parental support. Thanks to the teachers, coaches and

We may not get the recognition that the other schools receive but we do have the talent and when it comes to the college level, the difference can be seen. I wish that the school board would recognize what an injustice they are doing to our students at MHS and be fair to all the schools. Share the money equally, and give all the schools time in the spotlight. Grant parish is not just Grant High School. Read less
