"Montessori Peaks does not differentiate for students with GT classification. The administration is very weak with communication."

"This school did nothing for my child. Not prepared for middle school at all. A waste of years."

"Not a good school. Poor teachers, and even worse principal. I had concerns about how little my children are learning, but always got told that I just didn't understand Montessori... Gritting my teeth because I am the product of a TRUE Montessori education. This school goes to great effort to fake a good appearance, but the ugly truth is just below the surface. I also must put in my 2 cents about the new principal - under-qualified, hotheaded, rude, and NOT LICENSED!!! To my horror, I overheard staff insulting FRL students (students who need help to buy lunches), and actually strategizing about how to keep them out of the school. My family and I are leaving this school..."

"My children have gone to MPA for 3 years, and have thrived. We all feel that it has a warm environment with great teachers who are easy to communicate with. It's a wonderful community."

"Find another option. Having worked at MPA for some time, this is not a place for kids. I am no longer willing to stay and watch what goes on here. This place operates like a used car lot, where we have been trained to sell a product we know is rotting under the hood."

"I think Montessori Peaks is a great school that teaches children all that they need to know to prepare them for middle school. The teachers work very hard to keep the children engaged. They realize that every child is different and they work to promote the best abilities in each child. As a working professional, I am greatful that my children attend this school. I think the community supports Montessori whenever possible and support is what our school systems need. Teachers work very hard and we should recognize all the good that they do."

"I am sad to say I have watched this school go downhill for years. The new change of administration looks like the final hole in the ship that will sink a once proud school. Our family is not going down with the ship, and this is our last year here."

"After several years of trying to make it work we are leaving this school at the end of the year. There is almost a cult like feeling here, and there are groups (teachers, administrator, and select parents) who run it like a schoolyard mafia - everything is just fine as long as you do what they say and stay quiet. Found out they even edit the Facebook posts from others on their FB site to remove any negative comments. Like 1984 kind of creepy."
