Best kept secret in Montgomery Public Schools. The teachers are passionate, they go above and beyond for the students and challenges them each and every day. One of only a few schools that scored a B from the state.

This school is unorganized. It does not inform the parents like they should. The administration is weak. Most (not all) of the teachers, have little to no classroom management. The students are everywhere in this school and parents are the last one to find out anything. I am a parent of a child who attends this school and am looking forward to them leaving after their 7th grade year. The counselor is rude as well and not knowledgeable of her job and does not care about the well being of the student(s). The principal is hardly ever present and when I've been to the school, has always been in a meeting or busy. This has been the worst year for me and my child ever (2021-2022).

This school has been through terrible years where the staff, faculty, etc. have no respect for each other or students. Recently has gotten better but that isn't saying much. The students aren't interested in learning because the current principle shuts the door on any of the students' creativity. The art department, for example, has been put through the wringer. The band has suffered drastically due to a lack of consistent leadership and a great director was put in place, he was fired for a complaint from a student that was mad because she wasn't able to keep up with the progress due to a lack of musical skill/ effort. From having, what was widely regarded as, one of the best bands in the city and the overall state with a wide fanbase and support group, to having almost 10 members and not having any resources for uniforms in a few months and the downward spiral is only getting worse. But that is just one aspect. The sports department on all fronts is also hampered by the new regime put in place by the Principal.
