GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Im new to the highschool. But for the most part everyone is welcoming. My teachers are nice and helpful. The sports and clubs are pretty good. We have a homework club twice a week for people who need extra help with school work. The worst parthas to be when you get stuck with a teacher who isnt the most helpful or the nicest. Some teachers choose favorites and will not give you a great grade simply cuz they dont like you. But overall its alright

I liked most of the teachers and how they treated us. I know there are some teachers who defiantly have their favorites and aren't fair with everybody which isn't right. I think they are starting to downgrade the music and arts which I want to change.

I moved to Montrose my freshman year and was absolutely terrified. I was not the most outgoing. You will always have bad experiences in high school, but that is inevitable. People can be rude and ruthless at every school. Overall the students and educators are amazing here. I would very highly recommend it if you are a small town type of person.

I graduated from this school and let me tell you that you do not want your child to go here. Sometimes I don't know how I passed the classes.

I took both my children out of this school. My children are both gifted and the programs for regular education are quite inadequate and for gifted children the programs are nearly obsolete. Acedemics are placed on the back burner at Montrose. Sports are definitely the important item and that is mode...

This school is horrible I would never send my children there. I think they hire anyone for teachers.
