MTHS is a good public high school with a strong academic reputation, dedicated educators, and a lot of opportunities — but it still has room to grow when it comes to student support and inclusivity.

One of the worst schools I have ever seen in Monroe Township. Special Education here is absolutely horrible. I have a daughter with a rare genetic disorder and she attends this school, she’s nonverbal and has physical limitations. An incident happened where a staff member was injured involving my daughter and the school never notified me keeping it a secret and in turn stopped her PT services without notifying me. This school knew my daughter couldn’t communicate with me what was happening. This school violated her IEP and my rights as a parent preventing me from seeking medical attention for my daughter. Beware if you have a child in Special Education in this school.

My child went from a small private school into MTMS and the experience has had its ups and downs. First, there are some amazing teachers that we have had the pleasure of meeting. They have really helped to make a big difference in my child’s transition to such a large school. As we all aware, teachers’ attitudes have the ability to help or hurt student achievement and well-being. Some subpar teachers, team leaders and educational leaders at this school need to be retrained on how to effectively deal with all types of teens and preteens. Their assumptions or judging of the students, bad attitudes, negative interactions and unwillingness to engage and understand their students is appalling! I would not recommend this school. We will be returning to private school next year.

My children have thrived in this school. My older son was able to learn to play trumpet as part of their free zero period program and he also was nominated to assist at events with special needs children. My younger son was part of the gifted and talented program where he got to learn in a different classroom environment with other students that weren’t part of the gifted program. I love that they integrate the kids while still acknowledging each child’s individual needs and capabilities. Everyone helps each other as a family and they stay on top of anti-bullying and promoting kindness and respect. Highly recommend this school.
