The ethnic composition has undergone a significant change in the last five years. In 1988 the enrollment was evenly distributed between white and African American. Currently, our ethnic distribution is twenty percent white and eighty percent African American. Family stability among the students is diverse. Forty-three percent of the students live in single parent homes.
Many students live with adults other than their parents.
The majority of the students go home after school to a parent or to a child care facility. After School Care is provided at Montview School with a current enrollment of seventy students. All teachers are certified in the field in which they teach. The majority of the staff has been here five years or longer with new personnel added to replace retiring teachers. There are currently twenty-eight full time staff members.
