I first came here as a junior and felt very welcomed and all of the teachers were excellent and some even provided free afterschool tutoring which helped tremendously. The school is very well cleaned and overall every aspect is pretty organized. The teachers are great and the counselors are always doing there best to help you succeed.

Bishop Montgomery is a welcoming community. It is a wonderful place with a supportive and vibrant atmosphere. There are many activities and club opportunities available for everyone. The sports teams are very diverse which exposes students to different cultures and backgrounds. My best experience is the support I constantly received when I was going through a rough time. I felt safe speaking to some of the administrators about what was going on and in return they helped and supported me. My worst experience at Bishop are slim to nothing but sometimes I feel as if there was a lack of communication between teachers and students in certain situations but overall everything was good. The change I would like to see within the school is more support on the sport teams that are not as big as others.

My experience at Bishop Montgomery has been pretty smooth sailing. There is a no tolerance policy which keeps us safe and in check. It is known to be a college prep school which I do agree on. Very diverse group of students and teachers. There really is no bad part about school other than certain teachers that fail to keep us caught up on our assignments. But that doesn't happen often. The one change I want to see is an upgrade. The school is definitely old.

We have been so pleased with our experience at BMHS. So many diverse opportunities for the kids to branch out, including top notch Drama Lab and clubs.
