Montague Elementary School

I moved here from a different state not knowing what the educational system here would be like. After being an involved parent with the school for a few years, I have to say that Montague Elementary is definitely providing the quality education that I was wanting for my children. My children and family have always been treated with the utmost compassion and respect. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

This is a wonderful school, from the Chief school administrator, to the VP, the teaching staff and para professionals! The teaching staff goes above and beyond for each and every child. The Principal (Chief school administrator) knows every childs name, EVERY single one of them! The positive reinforcement is exeptional. Each months a student in each grade is chosen for student of the month. My children are getting an awesome education at Montague Elementary thanks to this wonderful faculty!

Montague Elementary School is a wonderful school with excellent teachers, principal and vice principal. They are involved, caring and make learning fun. There are challenging academic programs for all levels including special needs and gifted students. My children have learned and grown exponentially. We are very pleased with the education our children receive at Montague Elementary.

Terrible experience with this school. My special needs child was denied education and then the school refused to pay for an alternative, which is against the law. We had to go as far as hiring a lawyer to get the things we needed. I don't believe the teachers or administration have the children's best interest at heart. My child was not treated with compassion or respect. This school needs a major overhaul. Glad to be far away from these people!

This school has been WONDERFUL for our kids. We have been very pleased with the education our children are receiving and the high standards expected of students. The teachers and administration have been caring, helpful and supportive in all situations. Our kids come home excited about what they have learned and the opportunities presented to them.

This school is in serious need of an overhaul of it's administration. Our children are doomed for failure with this school's current administration and that goes as well for this school's Broad of Education team, as they are NO better. If we had to grade this school we would give it a U. Never in my life have I ever experienced the horror I have had to endure in attempting to ensure a fair and appropriate public education for my children who are residents of this township. As for this school's teachers, their are a few good ones, however many of them seem fearful of this school's administration, fearful of losing their jobs and as a result we have experienced and heard of some of this school's teachers doing unjust things to their students just to satisfy this school's administration. If your child MUST attend this school you, it is imperative that you stay involved and listen to your child everyday to stay on top of their education. Additionally if you are told your child is failing, DO NOT simply take this school's word as accurate as this school is known for luring parents in to get them to sign I.E.P.'s for their child so the school can collect extra State & Federal $'s.

Need to be extremely involved with your child to get the services they are entitled to. Many good teachers, but alot of limitations. Have to be hands on with your child or they will be 'left behind'. Also, the bullying policy is a joke. They say they don't tolerate bullying, but just try to get things rectified when there is a problem, they give you a song and dance. This school could be so much more than it is. Not a super good school for special ed. services. Very limited in the services and quantity the child receives.
