I love Montour because I've been a part of their community for a long time, so I've gotten the chance to know countless teachers who are quite accommodating to my disorders. However, where my experience dips is with the availability of AP courses. Many schools have an abundance of AP courses for many different subjects. However, our school has a much smaller amount and is less diverse.

While attending Montour High School, I was impressed by the school's stellar academia, sports, and faculty interaction.

This school is at least 3 years behind in academics. My daughter withdrew from this school after going for two weeks, because she was too smart and they refused to move her up a grade.
