It has…read morebeen reported at least 3 times and no contact done with school and the girls are still bullying. They school have been expelled by now and charges filed. Nothing being done and student is still being bullied. Shameful especially this day and age. Staff needs to step up and take control and.if they cant then call someone to deal with. No student should fear for their life. District office needs to step in and put staff in place that can take control. No excuses.

Seriously guys, high school is just one of those things that goes in the "file under totally lame"…read morecategory. And it's mostly due to the raging hormones and complete awkwardness that accompany ages 14 through 18. But MCHS did a relatively good job at making sure it wasn't AS LAME as it could be. I had amazing teachers here (BIG UPS TO: Mr. Kammer, Mrs. Milligan, Mr. Collinsworth, Mr. Kuschner [RIP], that one math teacher guy who I had for Algebra 3-4 but whose name I forget because it has been some years and Senora Renzi [I think that was it, Spanish, what-what]) and I came out of the whole thing a better person. And thanks to the whole "college prep" thing, cause I am naturally pretty smart, but I'd like to think MCHS helped nurture that just a bit. Maybe I'm biased because I was in something like the third or fourth graduating class but the facilities are NICE. I'm assuming that the place is still kept in pretty great condition. I mean, how many other high schools have campuses as gorgeous and technologically-advanced as this one? Try going to a high school in Lake County and just compare...MCHS kids are lucky. Minus half a star because the parking situation is crap. And minus the other half because Principal Klick is a total square, or at least he was when I was in high school. Finally, all you other folk best pay tribute to my class, 2002, and Kyle Rogers in particular, for providing the lovely number template up on the hill. REPRESENT.

If you're looking for a quality, Christian education for your children, this is the place to go.

After school and when no events are going on, the locals hit it up and it becomes a kind of informal dog walking area. It's fully fenced. Not school property. It's adjacent to school property.

Two stars for communication as a parent to a teacher, assistant principal, principal, coaches…read morecommunication is just pathetic!!!!!! So this is not the only reason they're getting one star we just sat through a two hour senior ceremony as they sent my son a letter saying he was going to get an award for something after two hours of sitting in the hot humid gym with all his friends there was no award obviously a miscommunication but I am steaming mad my son is hurt and embarrassed sitting with his friends for two hours as they all receive awards and he gets nothing thanks a lot staff!!!! Just imagine this is your kid they had really tried hard his last year as a senior and got very good grades really excelled and proved himself was all excited he was going to be sitting with his friends receiving an award for all his accomplishments and his name was not called put yourself in my shoes I think you'll be pretty pissed off too! Thank God he is done here! shame on you Montgomery high school staff. So the other part was we bought our son a car and a few weeks later somebody had backed into at Montgomery high school parking Over $5000 worth of damage when I went to the school to ask them if they had video they said "we don't think so?" I said "well can you check please this is a hit-and-run on your property" and three weeks later they said "I don't think we can find it we don't think our cameras go back that far into the parking lot" thanks for nothing & thanks for your concern not once did anybody say they were sorry.

Each and every one of the teachers explained that during class they lock down the bathrooms during class because people will skip class and just vape. If you had to go to the bathroom you would be escorted by the principal and the principal will wait in front of your stall. They don't even have and school officers because they refuse to pay for them. I heard from someone that a person threatened them with a pocket knife during school and pushed it up against their side and made them sit next to them the whole day. Everyone there judges you and they give you dirty looks. %75 of people there have/do drugs. About a month after I left I heard on the news that a kid brought a knife to school and charged another kid with it. When I was there for only like a day I felt scared and would rather be in jail for a day. I went the next day and didn't even last half the day. I faked being sick and left. I never went back ever again.

This summer I returned to visit Strawberry Elementary School with fond amazement: Teachers take…read morestudents on trips to Washington D.C. The science classes are insightful, intellectual, not like anything I have ever seen in New York City, Las Vegas or Santa Barbara, California. How amazing is this treasure in Sonoma County! Each class was as academic as a museum. The teachers specialize by constantly training. They are literally finding new ways to make the students brighter. Brilliance seems to follow every student as the teachers work so hard preparing new ways for them to learn. I interview them. I sat down with international visitors. We watched them prepare to make the students smarter. The teachers I met had students that went on to graduate at Harvard University and Stanford University. In Santa Rosa, they prepare young, and find themselves ready for the best university on the planet. The academic interest in the students progress is extraordinary. The teachers get the parents energized. I began decades ago with the first students when the school opened. The irony is I remember when the builders were developing the school from the ground up because the houses in the area where as new as the building of Strawberry. We played soccer in a lake of mud nearly forty years ago. Now the grass is fresh, green and lively. As children years ago, we were going to Bennett Valley and Yulupa before Strawberry opened for business. Later I won the Bennett Valley Teachers Award thanks to the excellent leadership of my teacher, role models, because they were the adults I knew as my father was sick with cancer and my mother worked full time as far away as Marinwood near San Rafael. I say that the teachers of Strawberry allowed me to succeed because the events, awards, the care they gave me led to the confidence that helped me in career today. I see that the teachers are even better now with their increased technology, new text books and the trips like that one to Washington D.C. How extraordinary!

I graduated from Newman with the glass of 2000…read more I couldn't fully appreciate the hard work I put in to graduate until much later, and only recently was able to see the fruits of those lessons. The teachers at the time were some of the most down to earth teachers I've known; some were former students, but all were invested in pushing us. I can't say I had a single "bad" teacher there. Many of my fondest memories, oddly enough, are from the friendships I had at that school, even though much of my time there was hampered by dealing with personal problems. I'd say definitely consider this school if you want a challenge, but more than that, if you want skills that will follow you, wherever you go, and allow you to pretty much do and set your mind to doing anything you want to do in life. Newman taught me how to persevere despite challenges, and for that, I'm truly grateful.

The worst thing here the staffs here were very hostile to muslims like myself then as well as insulting my culture and ethnicity as a Yemeni-Acehnese. Especially Stewart Clark, he would call my culture primitive and stupid. I was sent to detention here a lot with little to no justification and the little justifications had literally no proof. I was then sent to a counselor because Assistant Principal Stewart Clark thinks Islam is a mental illness and he even referred me to a psychologist which well it didn't work because I was not mentally ill. And then the higher staffs then sent me on suspension multiple times all because of my views and religion and ethnicities. Some of the students here are islamophobic and have a deep hatred for arabs like myself and some were responsible with making false claims on me then to get me into trouble. I was then assumed to be dangerous by Stewart Clark just because I'm muslim and a Yemeni-Acehnese. I got my backpack searched without permission and was seen as an enemy by him and other staffs like principal Rutherford for my race and religion. Eventually I was expelled. The experience here left me with PTSD to this day. I hope Steward Clark, Principal Rutherford, and the counselor then understands how their bigotry then. I really hope things has changed today from the time I'm there and the school being more accepting to diversity now and has more respect to other backgrounds.
