Horrible district. Their best interest isn't in the kids it's in pretending to be a good district and getting as much money as possible. Many of the schools hide things from the parents and make up lies to cover their tracks. read more

This districts bus rides suck. There is no busses and so many kids. Some kids have to sit in the hallway, THE HALLWAY!!

We moved from out of state to the greater Houston area over a year ago, and we selected our area based in part on the reputation of the Montgomery ISD. I have to tell you that we have been very disappointed with the Montgomery ISD. The area has grown exponentially in recent years, but despite being told that they would be building additional schools (currently our children go to schools that are more than 20 miles from our house) they are continuiing to stuff students into already overcrowded buildings and annexed buildings. A few examples? THEY decide in 6th grade which instrument your student will play all through high school (there is just one band director for 6th - 12th grades). There is virtually NO communication between schools and parents -- can you imagine, for example, that when registering our 6th grader for junior high, or our junior high student for high school, there was NO COMMUNICATION about the parent information sessions that were being held? I discovered it by accident while looking on the district website! This is especially disturbing at the high school level where they want the students to choose a "career track" in eighth grade! I know lots of college students who are still trying to figure out what they want to do! The ISD seems to want the tax dollars from all the new residents, but they very much treat us like outsiders (I think they still have that rural Texas mentality, and don't like the idea of so many people moving here from the Woodlands and elsewhere). When we do get the rare communication it's usually something like "Yes, the car line is long but we're not planning any alternatives. The car line is the car line and if you don't like it, your students can take the bus!" I really wish we had spent the extra money to move to the Woodlands. read more
