Montello School

Montello School has a warm, steady tone that a lot of Lewiston families appreciate when they first visit. The math proficiency usually sits in the lower to middle range, shifting a bit depending on the group of students each year. Teachers take care of groups that feel moderate in size, more like a manageable circle than a crowded space. Compared to Farwell Elementary or Geiger Elementary, Montello often feels a little busier but still keeps a gentle structure that helps students stay grounded. Renting a three bedroom home in this part of Lewiston usually falls in the moderate range, making it workable for many families who want to stay close to the school. Most students eventually move on to Lewiston High School, a place that guides teens into practical careers in healthcare support, trades, childcare, and community work. Montello carries that same grounded spirit. Teachers seem to notice small things like who needs a few extra minutes in the morning or who feels more comfortable with quiet encouragement. Nothing about the school feels overly polished. It’s steady, patient, and focused on helping kids grow in a calm, supportive environment.

Montello recently added a new reading support block to help strengthen fluency and comprehension. A simple hands on science corner was also introduced in several classrooms this month.
