10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGood memories from this school. Teachers are 98% amazing, and courses are not too harsh. I think this school did the best job providing several options of afterschool activities up until the highschool. I had the most amazing teachers there, who are still my favorite teachers years later. I really enjoyed being here, and I loved the values brought out in the school. Principal is nice, and as I said, most of the teachers are very good. Coming from Orchard this school is 99 times better.Other Review4y ago - Montgomery High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI believe this school has not yet grasped what it means to be neuro-inclusive and is stuck in the past. There is a heavy emphasis on academics and competition but not on supporting the needs of all students and creating a healthy environment. For example, there is significant pressure to take advanced math classes (whether or not that class is appropriate for a child of that age) but not to create a supportive environment for all children to learn and achieve their potential. If your child is severely impacted by learning disabilities, the district is generally good at accommodating them. But if your child is less obviously affected, the school will make you jump through hoops to prove "educational impact" in order to get the most basic accommodation. What if it is not about their grades (educational impact) but about their mental health? Kids can get decent grades while also struggling with the undue pressure the environment creates.Parent Review1y ago - Orchard Hill Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am very happy with Montgomery Lower Middle School. Mrs. Romano and Mr. Pachuta are excellent leaders that set the example for all, which explains why all the staff are so competent, kind, and caring, in my experience. Any time I have concerns, they are very responsive and professional. Besides providing a top-notch education, they foster an environment of kindness and compassion. They are really working to develop well-rounded kids who are not only sharp academically, but ready for the real world. There are also so many fun activities and events for the kids so they get to enjoy their childhood. I am proud I get to send my child to Montgomery Lower Middle School and highly recommend it.Parent Review9mo ago
