The school's performance is particularly strong in Math, with 6th-grade students achieving a 57.4% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the state's 37.8%.

While Montgomery Elementary School's overall performance is impressive, its ranking for its white student population is relatively lower, at 654 out of 1,201 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2024-2025.
