In contrast, Waterford Montessori Academy, while offering a unique Montessori-based approach, struggles with a lower 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5% and graduation rates slightly below the state average at Waterford Kettering High School and Kingsley Montgomery School.
