#7 Most Diverse Public Middle Schools in San Francisco Bay Area
Freshman: I was an eighth grade student at Montera Middle School, class of 2017. Montera is a diverse school, with kids from all parts of Oakland and of all races, socioeconomic backgrounds etc. I learned valuable life lessons from this and have experienced a school experience similar to real life. I had great teachers who care and empower their students. Last year, I took advanced Spanish and 9th-grade level math. Montera provides a girl's and boy's basketball, girl's volleyball, track and field, baseball, girl's golf, girls and boy's soccer and more. Not into sports? Montera has after school clubs such as Debate, Gardening, Techbridge (for girls only) and a student council. Under the leadership of Principal Avent, Montera is becoming an IB school and just introduced block periods. The negative reputation Montera has is fueled by outdated information and from parents who refuse to give Montera chance. Montera has a lot to offer and is by far one of the best middle schools in Oakland.
