Montevideo Elementary School Reviews

 
This is our 3rd. year at Montevideo and so far it's been okay. We had a great 1st year, the teacher was so nice and great with my son. This year so far so good. This teacher is very nice and treats everyone with respect and has been very good to my child. All in all I I do like the school and the programs are great. If you volunteer your treated better then the rest, it's unfair for the parents who can't. I do wish that would change.

This is our third year at Montevideo and we couldn't be happier. Both my children now attend (K and 2nd) and are excited to go to school. Not only are the teachers motivated to teach and to make learning exciting but they make the time to know everyone and offer that welcoming smile around the school. The parent involvement in Huge! You would be hard pressed not to find at least one helper per class during some part of the day. Montevideo's PTA works very hard to provide free family geared events every month and raise much needed money for our school due to district budget cuts. Our PTA has provided Meet the Masters, a Science Lab and a lunch time activity called 'Half Time Happenings'. I love this school and so do my kids! Montevideo Mountaineers - We Rock!

I am the Mother of 2 bright children at this school.The Principal has not been available for me on many occassions.I try to help out in classes as much as possible, but I do work outside the home.Parents do volunteer. But what goes on in the classrooms -should stay in the classroom. Not discussed at the pick up,crosswalk,park,nearby grocery store, etc.Concerns have been brought up to the office with no results accomplished thus far. So I believe we as Parents-volunteers should be required to sign a waiver of confidentiality to ensure that while volunteering, the children's class scores, struggles,achievements,discipline problems are kept private. Maybe it would put a stop to this. Also, we as parents/volunteers should be limited in what we do to help the teacher's & students in the classrooms. No testing of the students. We are not the teachers. I know this is done in many classes.

We've been apart of Montevideo now, for 4 years. I am so impressed w/the teachers, and the principal. The PTA has some strong parents who devote endless hours to make our school a better place for our children. We have new programs, science, meet the masters, music, etc that benefits all our children. I'm proud my children are apart of such a wonderful school.

This is our daughter's 3rd year at Montevideo, and so far, it has been a positive experience for our entire family. As other parents have stated, the school is in desperate need of upgrading, but construction is underway this year and the changes that have been announced look great. We have found the principal to be extremely helpful, but you do have to approach him. Every concern we have brought to his attention has been addressed and corrected. We have had two very good teachers and one mediocre. Not too bad, for a public school. Academics are definitely stressed. Test scores are good. Parent involvement is extremely high. On any given day, the number of parents outnumber the staff of the school! One negative: the parents can be very superficial and catty, but that's not surprising, as this is Orange County. All in all, a great school!

This is our sons 3rd year at Montevideo, his 3rd year without complaints. The teachers are caring and the campus is safe and secure for the kids.

I am not impressed with this school at all. Unfortunately, the school is dated and run down and that's just what you see on the outside. On the inside you'll find a multi-purpose room that serves many purposes such as a multi-media room/library/assembly area. Next to the multi-purpose room resides the 'Queen' aka the office manager who is the rudest woman I have ever met and should not be working anywhere around children. The teachers at this school are the only redeeming quality but unfortunately, there a lot of undesirable teachers who have been teaching for 25+ years that the school can't retire. Overall, this school gets a BIG thumbs down!

My daughter is a kindergarten student at Montevideo this year and I have been favorably impressed with the school. The curriculum is much more demanding than it was when I was in kindergarten and that, combined with the short attention span typical for children this age, makes the teacher s job especially challenging. However, my daughter s teacher does an excellent job of keeping the childrens minds engaged.(I do b
