It aint great, the people aren't that great, and the security is too lax around the school. The bathrooms are a mess most of the time, and most of the teachers aren't that great either. And they don't really care about respect in school.,

In my short time at Montgomery Senior High I have enjoyed many school events and activities. I strongly believe that school can be fun depending on how involved you are. That's why I strive to be involved in as many school activities as possible. This gives me a sense of purpose and it's quite enriching for me academically and socially. I'm apart of the Aztec cheer team and we have been apart of many community events and parades in San Diego.

I’ve had a great experience at Montgomery High for my sophomore student. The teachers and administration really care about the students. There is a big focus on helping students and staff to work with their natural strengths. There are strong athletics and a growing arts scene.

The school never answers the phone and then they will say your student has unjustified absences. No voice mail is set up either. The most unprofessional school district.

This school has changed from those previous reviews. Every school will have fights. The people here are actually very welcoming, and not snobby and stuck up.
