Montera Elementary

Montera Elementary sits in Montclair, a working-class Inland Empire city with a tight-knit community feel and easy freeway access to both Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley. The school holds its own academically, with math and English scores hovering around the 60th percentile statewide — solid ground for an area that tends to fly under the radar compared to its wealthier neighbors to the west. Families who value a neighborhood school with a genuine sense of community, and who don't mind rolling up their sleeves to get involved, will likely feel right at home here.
