montrose high school is a great school with a great faculty. everyone is so friendly and supportive. although, some teachers help prepare students more than others for college preparation in a way. they are trying their hardest, but sometimes it isn't easy because they expect you to know how to do something.

I'm very discouraged and disappointed in the Montrose School District Superintendent, Stephen Schiell. We all had high hopes that the new superintendent would be a leader in quality education for all of our kids. That doesn't seem to be the case. The focus seems to be money and not on kids. There wa...
