My experience at Montezuma is very positive. The current principal creates an atmosphere of respect for teachers and students. The teachers work tirelessly to meet the needs of their students and make learning fun. Montezuma offers strong academics and before and after school care as well as interesting after school clubs. There are many community and family events. Montezuma is to be commended for their efforts on behalf of students and families!

What a terrific place for kids from all walks of life to learn. If your kid is a genius, don't worry. He or she will get placed asap into the talent pool for gifted education. If he or she struggles in one or more areas, you've got a strong team in place with plenty of resources to help. The school may have struggled under previous administrations, but the current principal, teachers, and support staff are absolutely terrific. And the kids themselves are generally nice and friendly. There's no snobbery here, which is the atmosphere that I want for my child. Those nonsensical "school grades" that the state used to assign are based on false assumptions and fail to tell the whole story about this school (and many others). Also, the bilingual program is quite strong. So thank you, Montezuma ES team, for creating a warm and caring school for my child!

This school is absolutely terrible and I regret ever putting my children in this school. It is a low budget, unorganized school and it is extremely low on the academic scale. I wish I had know the facts about this school prior to enrolling my children. Do not put your children in this school.

awesome school. And its just down the block! I love Montezuma because of the passion of its teachers and the amazingly diverse student population. My three kids have moved through the grades and made great friends from all parts of life. Its a real school and not one that rich parents should want to escape from or parents new to ABQ feel shied away. Its a wonderful blend of acceptance and achievement! Help the PTA help your teachers help your students! Be a part of a community and activate learning in your child!

My son went here for kindergarten and I ended up pulling him out in October. After emailing the principal and trying to communicate with the teacher with no improved results. I realized this school was in need of many improvements. I would not recommend this school as it is lacking in a sense of community and high academics.

I went Montezuma elementary school from k-5 and i loved my school!, but these years its changed a lot!. I have a son who is special and they seem not to have a lot to offer to him and im getting tired that everyday he's at the principals office, and they have him bouncing from one class to another not knowing what to do with him and I think this is ridiculous! !! , and they also don't have many after school programs to offer.

I went to Montezuma for all of my Elem. and I would say that it was the best out of all of the schools i went to. My 3rd grade teacher was teaching us Algebra and instilled in me a love and yes i said Love of math.
