Great school. We lived in good school districts in Maryland and the Bay Area in California, but our daughter was blossomed in the Montour School District and David E Williams MS. The classes are grouped by test scores and academic achievement, so the accelerated class is appropriately more advanced and challenging. The Gifted and Talented program is also extremely well run for high performing students. Close Quote
