Montgomery Central Elementary School

This school does not know how to deal with students who have learning disabilities, such as ADHD. They constantly pressure the parents into medication for their child, even when the parents have made it clear they do not want to go that route. As a parent, I have the right to refuse "medication" for my child. If you can even call it that. I don't want my child growing up thinking "if I take this pill it makes me feel really good...." This school does not provide teachers who can teach students with this disability and they insist on failing them. This school has FAILED my child. Funny how they say my child has "given up" but they are the ones giving up on him. Oh! And not to mention they claim that there is no such thing as "Special Education" !!!!! Seriously frustrating as a parent I just want my child to get the education he deserves and not be put with all the other "normal" kids who make straight A's and never need help.

This is the best school in the Montgomery county School system

I am a mother of six children, four of them have attended this school all of their lives. The other two have attended since being with us. When your child looks at you and states that they love school, and that the principals and teachers are their friends, the faculty are definately doing something right! All of my children love attending school here. The principal knows every child on a first name basis and greets each child in the morning as they arrive. They have classes on values which is unheard of at any other school I have encountered. They get a gift and lunch with the principal on their birthday as well as free ice cream! Not only does the principal know all the students but all the parents as well. My daughter in high school is involved with 2 seperate programs that assist in aiding with reading skills at the school. The teachers are hand-picked with great care and are above all others. Children are the priority here and that I feel is how every school should be. They have free tutoring, programs to help them in reading, and a friendly, enjoyable, learning enviornment. I give this school 5 stars!

My daughter attend MCES kindergarten thru 5th grade and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. The principal is so wonderful and genuinely cares for the students and goes out of her way. The teachers were always helpful and communicated with me on a regular basis and was happy to do so. My daughter was so happy and loved every teacher and staff there. i would never send my kids to any other school:)
