Montpelier Schools

"It would be cool if there weren't all these kids all over the place"

"They are great people, that are very willing to help you and your kids."

"The staff are really nice and helpful, but if your child starts late in the year, don't expect anyone to help them catch up/on to what the classes are learning. Our kids are extremely smart, but they're struggling at this school. The teachers just hand out assignments and don't offer help. My kids tell me that teachers yell and swear at the students. The lunches are really bad and they don't get enough time to eat, according to my kids. Drop off is easy, especially if you have kids in multiple grades. They all go in the same door. The school is extremely well designed functionality wise. 4 wings, for pre-k-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, so the kids are generally with their own age group. Recesses are short, and they only get 1 (2 for 2nd and under, if they arrive before school starts). If I could take our kids elsewhere, I would. We don't plan to stay in Montpelier for long, so we'll make do while we're here, but if you have the option, I'd recommend a different school. Overall, my kids were happier in their school in Virginia and beg daily not to have to go to school here. Maybe it'll get better, but I'm not sure it will."

"I would have liked to give this place more stars, but the standards are simply falling apart. The cafeteria often runs out of food, the food that is served is often raw or extremely greasy, some students are treated better than others, people get in trouble for doing absolutely nothing, IEP students aren't given proper accomodations, some teachers are allowed to be rude to students without reprehension, and the high school principal is way too involved in students' personal lives. There are some good things about the school, such as the 3 E's program, but that's about as far as it goes. Overall, I would recommend sending your children elsewhere."

"Day after day my kids and their friends and other students I know complain about food that should be hot is getting served cold and even partially frozen! And today this was sent from my son! Undercooked, cold and mush! This has been going on for a long time and does no good for the kids to say anything because you guys ignore their concerns! So would you honestly eat it? I surely wouldn't! Get it together Montpelier! Other pick is suppose to be meatloaf! You tell the kids to set an example, so maybe yall should 1st! Get your ducks in a row! No wonder why these kids all come home hungry!"
