This is a great school and offfers strong academics and extracurricular programs along with a strong athletic program. All students are encouraged to be the best they can be as an individual.
Outstanding Catholic School for both academics as well as athletics. I have had two children graduate from Montini Catholic and both were prepared for college and beyond. They continue to have life long friendships with alumni. As a parent I also remain in touch with many former Montini families. The smaller class size truely makes a difference.
I highly discourage any sensible parent from sending their child to this establishment. The staff could not be any more un-helpful and rude. There is no family environment here, and your child will not do good here if he or she needs a little extra help. If your child is not an athlete, he might as well prepare for community college if he/she goes to Montini. The staff could not be any more arrogant when they talk to you. I've never seen faculty more unwilling to help you if you or your child has a problem. They give free rides to athletes and there is definately no room for the middle class families here. The poor get free education and the rich run the school. This 'school' is very much more concerned with their own reputation than the well-being of the students. Simply disgraceful.
A great catholic school. It has a faith based education which is why i send 2 kids there. The staff could not be more helpful, i am impressed. Student involvement is outstanding, great fine arts program as well.
I have to give this school a 5 star rating, and the teachers 5 star plus! Even teachers that were did not have my son in their class took the time to help him. Amazing the time the faculty puts in and how much they truly care. I was so disappointed with our public school here even though it has a high rating, they just let kids that are not with the 'in' group fall through the cracks. We did not want that to happen to our youngest so we sent him to Montini. I was not totally for it at first since, the idea of sending our son to Montini was my husbands idea. I went through the public school system myself, and always felt public school was superior. Boy was I wrong!!! Mntini was the best decision we ever made and our son is proof of that! Thank you
Good all around high school experience. Smaller number of high achievers than some schools, but enough to make competitive academically and most teachers are good.
For a private school Montini academics are very disapointing, the surrounding public schools offer supreior programs. But if your child need extra help it is a good school.
Our 23 year old graduated in 2003 and our 14 year old will graduate in 2011. We love this school and all that it offers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a recent graduate of Montini, and I could not have been happier with the quality of the academics I received at Montini. The teachers truly care and want every student to succeed, and they are willing to come in early and stay as late as they have to in order to help every student succeed. The athletics are excellent, and Montini puts great emphasis on the involvement of both extra-cirriculars and academics. Benet tends to be very snobbish, and tends to care more about preserving their image rather than fully welcoming students and their families. Montini is like one big, welcoming family, and to say that the academic quality is not up to par is completely untrue. Each year there are high numbers of students with high academic honors, such as state scholars, etc, especially for such a small school. Montini was excellent, I highly recommend it for all.
Montini Catholic is a wonderful school. Although it gets looked down upon for being smaller in size, that is the reason why students thrive there.
