    "There are good things about Montera. And as one parent stated the true test of a school is how prepared students are for the next level of education. In classes that are divided by ability (math, English) students in the top classes behave for the most part. However, there are far too many students who use cell phones in class, fight, wear their pants so that you are always looking at their underwear. These are the same students who often do little to no work and complain about the school. I gave the school such a low rating because there is not enough foreign language offered. And if you are in the band or orchestra, you will not get to take a foreign langage at all. Also, there is a lot of theft at the school. Students steal from other students, from the school and from teachers. The thieves brag about what they do but because no one actually saw them take the things they are not caught. Even when we engraved our children's names on their Ipods they were taken. We got our son's iPad back using the locator device and confronted the student and his grandmother directly because the school would not help."

    "A mostly awesome group of teachers and administrators, but as others have mentioned, the undesirable behavior of too many of the students ruin the experience for those that actually want to be there to learn. It's ashame."

    "alright so i went there for 3 years and it was the worst place i have ever went to school. like people are trying to so that it has academic challenges and honestly that is only if your kid isn't the smartest like to be real i took 2 math classes everyday and i failed and the fights were outrageous and the PE program is like sketchy because like i was this dude break his arm because he fell running on the track which Im the rain is really muddy and uneven. the teachers are really bad although i must say the vice principle is awesome the principle like says these things and they sound promising but he doesn't follow up on his promises"

    "My kids enjoyed their years at Montera and they had mostly great teachers. In my opinion, the real test of a school is how well a student is prepared for the next level, in this case high school. Montera kids get into the highly sought after academies at Oakland Tech, and all the kids I know in my daughter's year got into their first choice of private high school. The math dept. is great -- my daughter and her friends were way ahead of their their friends who came from private schools, which gave them a distinct advantage when being placed in high math and science classes. Student behavior on the part of some kids could be improved and the Montera admin. does its very best. The problem here is lazy, uninvolved parents, but I witnessed this in elementary school too. My kids were well prepared socially and academically."
