Summary

Montlieu Academy of Technology is a PK-5 elementary school in High Point, NC, serving about 499 students in the Guilford County Schools district. The school serves a high-poverty community, with 99.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and sits among neighboring elementary schools with nearly identical poverty profiles. After climbing from the 4th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 37th percentile by 2023-2024, Montlieu has slipped in the last two years to its current 23rd percentile statewide ranking for 2025-2026, giving back much of the ground it had gained.

The picture is not uniformly discouraging, however. Montlieu posts notable bright spots for specific groups of students: its Gifted and Talented students rank at the 96th percentile statewide, and its English Language Learners have ranked at or above the 68th percentile for three consecutive years. The school also outperformed both the district and the state in 4th grade math in 2025-2026, with 62.3% of students proficient. Hispanic and African American student results are closer to middle-of-the-pack than the overall ranking would suggest, with both groups scoring around the 38th to 49th percentile statewide.

There are real causes for concern as well. Chronically absenteeism stands at 40.7%, the highest among nearby schools and dramatically above the district's 29.2% and state's 24.2% rates — with only Parkview Village Elementary (40.3%) coming close. Upper-elementary academics are a persistent weakness: 5th grade math proficiency sits at just 38.5%, compared with 64.7% at Shadybrook Elementary and 75.8% at Jamestown Elementary. Montlieu also reports the highest student-teacher ratio (16.5) among nearby schools. With male students, low-income students, and upper-grade performance showing troubling declines over the past two years, improving attendance and stabilizing the recent academic slide are the most pressing priorities facing the school.

Open Quote I love the school. It is cultured in every aspect and my daughter respects her teachers and appreciates attending. The principal is definitely a breath of fresh air. At this school my daughter has learned to socialize well and broaden her thinking pattern. I am glad I have her at this school because I don't worry that they don't have her best interests at heart. Thank you to all the teachers and principal for caring! Close Quote

Open Quote School failed to meet AYP standards for the past two years. What is even more frightening is that they set the standards so low, and they still didn't meet them. There are a few skilled teachers, however, many are mediocre at best. Yes the school is in a low-income area, but poor people care about their child's education as well. Furthermore, the administration doesn't have a clue on how to improve the school's performance. Now they plan to waste money on Ipads and new MacBook computers so technology will teach for them.

Teachers and school staff are way too concerned with little things such as the color of a student's shoes, and not whether that student grasps the concepts presented in class. Administration will not listen to parent concerns, and the PTA has disbanded out of frustration. Administration and teachers are quick to phone parents at work and demand they bring their child different color shoes, belt, etc. Whenever a parent calls the school they are met with "busy schedules" or are otherwise unable to voice those concerns.
