School Reviews

5   8/8/2011
This will be my sons first year at Montgomery Elementary. We recently moved back to Cazadero and he is going into 7th grade. I love that the school is small and the children get more one on one help. At his previous school there were 35 students in one class room. Now there will be about 10. I also love that the older kids get to help and interact with the younger students. It helps to teach them responsibility. Not to mention because we are in a small town everyone is so friendly and ready to welcome us with open arms. Thank you.
