School Reviews
3 4/7/2017
My twins have attended Montera from sixth through eighth grade (2014-17). We have found Montera to be a very good school - with dedicated teachers, a fabulous administration, and a wonderful Parent-Teacher Organization. We know many people fear large urban public schools; yet we have found it to be a great place to learn and grow. In fact, my daughter has earned an academic scholarship for high school thanks to the preparation she has received at Montera.
