We have only needed the assistance of some speech therapy but it was great and helpful. Conversely, both my sons were in the GATE program and Mrs Nikoula does an amazing job in the after school enrichment class.

Never have had a problem with this issue ourselves and haven't heard of any issues.

The TWI program there is fantastic. Our children can best learn another language when young....starting in middle school isn't as productive. Their 90/10 program is great, challenges their learning, opens their minds to world culture and future opportunities.

They go from a weekly homework pack to a daily agenda to get some homework without being too much or just filling time.

The teachers are caring, dedicated and respectful of all students' backgrounds and beliefs.

This is very much focused on. Celebrate diversity and respect all. Kids need the training at home also, but we have only had a good experience at this school.

Mrs. Caudil has been an amazing addition to the school. The quality of the experience there and the getting of tasks done as a whole school has vastly improved in the last few years. She communicates with parents well and is committed.

My child loves this school, teacher, peers, and ASES. My child is in the Two-Way Immersion program (TWI) and the After School Educational Safety Program (ASES). This year has been difficult but with professional and caring teachers helping my child and the after school program I have seen an improvement in home work and confidence. However, I'm not sure that is enough sometimes the child just is not ready to learn a second language.

It shows in my Son's behavior that they teach him honesty, integrity, and fairness. I'm very content with Montalvo Elementary!

My Son is in the two way immersion and I like the school and teachers for their dedication.

My grandchildren attend this TWI school and seem to be doing just fine as well as eager to learn. Why is the API score for Montalvo only 4 of 10. Is there a way to understand why the score is that low?

This is our family's second year at Montalvo. My daughter is in the Two Way Immersion program which is excellent and the staff at this school are amazing.

Last API test scores for white subgroups was 899. This is huge considering many are in twi learning in classrooms where the greater percentage of learning is done in a second language. Does this make the kids who attend Montalvo actually smarter than those with APIs of, for example, 936, like Mound, who are practically all white and there is no second language barrier, or Pierpont, which is not just practically white, but all white? Also, if my daughter goes to Montalvo, not only will she be getting high test scores, she will become highly proficient in a second language at the same time.
