The Montclair Public School system has consistently made great efforts towards making my high school experience a safe and effective learning environment, but I cannot say the same for some of my peers. I have been in all honors and Advanced Placement classes ever since that was even an option but throughout my entire middle school and high school experience my classes have been majority white. Montclair HighSchool as itself is a very diverse institution but whether conscious or not, classes have been segregated for years. I believe this to be the product of the major wealth gap in the city due to redlining, the town is clearcut right down the middle and majority of Montclair's Black population loves on the poorer, redlined side. Its further away from the schools and many children of color cannot afford the same tools and tutors as their white counterparts so they don't feel confident enough to join honors and AP classes. The school needs to take greater measures to correct this.
Montclair Public Schools have been a great experience for me. The diversity, clubs, athletics, and academics are strong. Unfortunately, the facilities at Montclair High School are lacking making my senior year horrible. They found bacteria in the stairwell of the main building which later collapsed. The school needs more money to address problems like these before they occur. Other than that, my social and academic life at Montclair were great!
My time in the Montclair Public school district was nothing less than formative. My teachers were compassionate and patient, and from an early age they taught me acceptance and fairness.
