Not good. They didnt know what they were doing and I got a detention for stating my RIGHTS. This is outrageous and I dont recommend. The teachers are kinda sexist and not fair. I was a student there 4 years ago and Im getting nightmares.

It's sad that the wonderful, compassionate work done at Prairie Ridge Elementary is so shockingly contrasted once the children reach middle school. The worst of all is the principal, Melissa Hansen. During a meeting at the school about my daughter's progress, she became upset with my directness and slammed her hand on the table, shouting how this is "HER SCHOOL." Unfortunately she must not realize the school is that of the taxed patrons, who also ultimately also pay her salary. It's no wonder MTMS is known for bullying. Terrible experience overall, with an even worse woman in charge of it all.

Awesome teachers and school system. School allows BYOD, which really isn't a problem in my opinion. However, there can be too much focus on testing here

Monticello Trails Middle School. I feel most of the teachers are young and more into themselves. Many of the women wear very tight "Leggings" and it shows C-toe. There are a few gems in the group, but few and far between. The MVHS is really bad too. Mike Raush, I feel is a really bad teacher!
