Monticello Elementary School

I am a Monticello parent. My daughter comes home everyday with something new she has learned. There is great structure and involvement with all of the children. All of the teachers are caring and seem to strive for the best in every child. I wouldn't have it any other way for my child's education!

This school definitely needs to be restaffed. As one other parent has commented, the teachers are too abrasive towards the children and seem as if they're only working there because that's the only choice they have at this time in their life. I actually will be moving here in the near future to get my children into a more welcoming and caring school system for their support.

As a Monticello parent, I am very thankful for the staff of Monticello. I have always found them to be courteous and helpful. The Huber Heights City School System has earned an effective school rating for the third year in a row. During a difficult period of budget cuts and failed levies, the staff and administration made a conscious effort to keep the kids the number one priority. I have been in this school district for 4 years now. I have noticed a continued lack of parental participation. Because there are never enough volunteers for the activities, the staff is burdened to pick up the slack. The staff's duties are to turn out educated, proficient children. I think that they do a tremendous job while under immense pressure. Many times, they are overworked and they are always underpaid. They fully need and deserve the support of every Huber Heights citizen.

I believe that this school needs to have a brand new staff. I have even considered moving because of my dissatisfaction with the staff and performance of this school. You do not feel welcomed when you are there and many of the teachers are too abrasive for children of this age range. If you compare teachers in the same grade, you will find that they don't even follow the same curriculum. I feel like the staff are there only because it is there place of employment and not because they want to be. I think in order to be a good teacher, you must first love children and have a desire to teach. Most of the staff at Monticello lacks this type of motivation. Hopefully the new principal will see the problem and remedy the situation.
