Mountz now has after school care program and also has PTA funded after school enrichment. Nearby Community House provides afternoon and evening dancing, singing and acting for K to 12. Academically Mountz is a blue ribbon school consistently at the top in state testing. It's like a private school but with smaller class sizes!

My kids will start pre-school in the fall and the staff has been incredibly patient and understanding with all of my questions and concerns. My only lingering concern is because of the number of children in preschool year 2016-2017 they have to create 2 classes. This means that the class will only be from 8:30-11:30am. My kids are used to being in preschool from 8am-6pm so I'm afraid they won't be getting enough organized activity per day. It would be nice if they had an aftercare program.

HW Mountz school is very much a family environment. It is small public school (in a small town) which is wonderful for many students who attend. Students receive individual attention and teachers are supportive. The children ride bikes and walk to school. School lunches are delivered from local area restaurants. The PTA is very active. It is wonderful place for children and parents who enjoy being part of a community.

this is a disgrace to be called a blue ribbon school. the principal plays is only there to move to a better district thank god he did. a small group of parents run the school. other parents are pulling their children out due to bullying and other issues. they should just close this school and merge with the spring lake heights school

HW Mountz is an excellent academic institution. It was recently nominated as a Blue Ribbon School and has an excellent superintendent and faculty. Recent upgrades to the science labs and recreational facilities have been completed. Students are well prepared to their future academic careers.

This is a terrific school. Recently it was rated #1 by Schooldigger.com. My kids enjoyed going to school and received a top notch education.

To me, Mountz wasn't a school--it was a family. Being an only child, whenever I lined up on the blacktop each day before school began, I was greeted by my many siblings. The teachers acted as aunts and uncles; they were caring, yet not afraid to push you to be your personal best. If I could stay at Mountz for ever, I would!
