High school students in the class of 2000 achieved mean SAT scores of 1,111 combined verbal and math. Ninety-one percent went on to continue their education after graduation, Lamonte notes. Further accomplishments of the class of 2000 included National Merit Semi-Finalists, National Merit Scholar Letters of Commendation winners, Edward J. Bloustein Distinguished Scholars and Governor's School participants. We receive wonderful community support, and the Montville Educational Foundation helps fund exciting new programs by providing grants for teachers. A future referendum going before voters will call for an upgrade of the high school to include a new two-story wing dedicated to science and technology, Lamonte says.
Recent renovations are complete at all five elementary schools and the middle school.
The lively arts are alive and well in Montville. The Barn Theatre on Skyline Drive is the state's oldest continuously operating community theater since opening its doors in 1927. The theater usually offers two musicals and three non-musicals each season. It's extremely desirable for schools, location, services and charm. People stay here and raise their families here.
