Montair is a fantastic school with a truly supportive community. The fundraising efforts are second to none in the area, which means students have access to special programs like music and other enrichment opportunities that many nearby schools simply can’t offer. Both of my children attended Montair and are now thriving in middle school, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the foundation they received here.The facilities are excellent, safe, and well maintained, and the location makes it a great choice for families. Compared to other schools in the area that may have fewer resources, Montair really stands out.The only area where I think the school could continue to grow is in providing more support for students with special needs. While overall it’s a wonderful place, strengthening this aspect would make it even better.Overall, I would highly recommend Montair Elementary to any family looking for a well-rounded, resource-rich, and community-driven school experience.

Academics are consistently declining— fewer AP courses each year, unmotivated teachers, and a general attitude among students that academics are less important than sports. The (few) students that are academically ambitious always have private tutors and paid college advisors because the support at SRV is nonexistent. The culture is of course all about sports, as most students at SRV have lived in Danville forever and grew up dreaming of playing for SRV.

Majority of students are white, wealthy, and privileged, which shows up in the general attitude held at SRV.

I’m praying it has improved. As a former student, I encountered a total disregard for special circumstances I had…
