I went to Montera in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I had some good teachers and some bad ones. I hated 6th grade because I was part of an awful friend group but I loved 8th grade because I was part of an amazing one. Montera had some fantastic teachers and some awful students when I was there.

I would absolutely not recommend this school for any parent who cares about the safety of their child or their education. This place is disruptive and the teachers do not help at all. Restorative justice is the issue in America. We should go back to traditional education instructions.

As parent of a rising 8th grader, I feel that Montera has exceeded my expectations. I have been especially impressed with the principal who has demonstrated an appreciation for the complex transition faced by middle school students. School leadership has balanced a need to address the social emotion...

Kids here tend to be extremely ableist and vape in the bathrooms. It is not a good school. Counselors aren't trustworthy in the slightest and tell anyone about your issues. This school is one where it is easy to be bullied for something small and you'll be tormented for that for the rest of the scho...
