WASC Parent Survey
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is recognized as one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States. The commission validates the curricular, instructional, and support programs for California schools.
This survey will allow Montgomery’s stakeholders to update their current vision and mission, review practices currently in place, and provide opportunities for improvement. We welcome your constructive feedback. Every member of our school community plays an integral part in evaluating and participating in our self-study report. Please participate in our study by completing the anonymous survey. To fill it out, visit: WASC 2018-2019 Parent Survey
