Amazing school, principal & staff! The parent involvement and support is off the chart. Kudos to all!
I currently have a third and first grader at Montclair. Our academic and community experience at this school has been outstanding. Our principal is extreemly dedicated, our teachers are second to none, and our parent community is diverse and extreemly active within the school.
I have a 2nd grader at Montclair Elementary so this our 3rd year there and every year I am more impressed. The principal is a strong and dedicated leader and the teachers are caring and competent. The parent community is really amazing - a diverse, hard-working group coming together in challenging times for public education and ensuring a top-quality education/experience for their kids!
I loved going to school here. The teachers are excellent and the after-school program is great.
The kids are happy there, the parents help out and the teachers are top notch!!
Its a traditional shool where there is a good mix of seasoned as well as new teachers and instructors for thier academic and enrichment classes.
Montclair Elementary School is a community that cares about each child's school experience, where staff, families and neighbors work hard together while having fun helping the school. As a result, the kids keep art and extracurricular activities in the school, make lifelong friends and improve their community.
This is our tenth and final year at Montclair. We love the school and the community. The children are diverse, with quite a few intra-district transfers, which is great as otherwise it would be fairly homogenous (hills school). The PTA is very strong and has fun fundraisers which raise enough money for the supplemental programs. There is also a good music program provided by the district for 4th and 5th graders.
Amazing public school. It is parents and dedicated teachers that make the school what it is, relatove to what the Oakland District provides.
This is our third year here at Montclair Elementary and we are very happy so far. The collaboration of the staff, teachers, parents, and students help to make this school a great place to learn AND have fun.
