Summary

Montgomery High is a public high school serving approximately 1,250 students in grades 9-12 within the Santa Rosa High school district, which ranks in the lower half of districts statewide.

The school's academic performance has declined significantly over the past decade, now ranking in the 41st percentile in California, with mathematics proficiency (17%) being a particular area of concern compared to nearby schools like Maria Carrillo High (83rd percentile) and Technology High (99th percentile). Despite this trend and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism, Montgomery maintains a strong 90% graduation rate, outperforming the state average and some local peers such as Elsie Allen High. A notable strength is its program for Special Education students, which ranks in the 74th percentile statewide.

Montgomery exists in a challenging district context where most comprehensive high schools, including Piner High and Santa Rosa High, perform below the 60th percentile, while schools in neighboring districts like Analy High (81st percentile) in the West Sonoma County Union High district excel. Per-student spending has risen sharply at Montgomery without corresponding academic gains, raising questions about resource effectiveness compared to higher-performing schools with similar or lower funding.
