Montera Middle School Reviews

Reviewed
by a  Parent  VANESSA
I am so dismayed at what this school "really" is. There is a lot of glitter but only fools gold. The staff/teachers/principal pretend to be inclusive but if your child is not a genius then they will be pushed aside and disgarded while they focus on students who really don"t need help. I thought that teaching should include making the average better and the good the best? What are these educational professionals thinking? On top of their lack luster performance as educators-they have a problem with bullying and fighting! I think I will be sending my daughter to another school.   Don't be fooled parents, by where this school is-Taxpayers, what a waste of our money (am I wrong to expect my taxes to go to ALL children getting a REAL education?
