School Reviews5 10/10/2025This is a GREAT school. As a current parent, I am very pleased with the growth I am seeing in my children. The techers here are top notch. They truly care and want to see every child do their best. I hope it continues this way!1 10/10/2025School was good at one time, but currently admin has run it into the ground. Big turnover of teachers and large number of students go to other schools using choice program. Students may be forced back into a NY state urban school for high school and perhaps middle school. Beware those with children wishing to purchase Montague homes. You need to look for a more stable district. Lots of issues here.Review Montague Township School.
