I love this school because it has a wonderful principal teachers and staff, students and parents. I feel that you enjoy having your child attend this neighborhood school.

Monte Sano school is over 100 years old, complete with high ceilings and polished wooden floors kept immaculate by dedicated staff. The remodeled school has modern classrooms and cafeteria that blends in beautifully with 20th century architecture. The teachers are proud of their school and their students and strive to improve educational excellence in spite of recent cuts by the governor and local board. They remain steadfast to their profession.

We love Monte Sano. Two of our children have attended this school. The classes are small and the teachers are very caring. The school itself is historic and recently rennovated. We wish our kids still went there!
