Montera Middle School is the largest sixth to eighth
grade comprehensive middle school in OUSD. Montera’s
community is beautifully diverse, with students entering
from every elementary school in the District. Our school
colors are black and gold and our mascot is the Toro, whose
strength and determination is symbolic of our school spirit
and community. Montera is a place where students are
challenged to reach their full potential through rigorous and
engaging instruction within a safe and caring community.
Montera graduates are prepared to excel in high school,
college, and beyond. We embrace and cultivate the diversity
of our school community. Our incredibly active PTO works
closely with our teachers and administration, raising and
spending money to increase technology in our classrooms,
go on field trips, and to put on large events to celebrate
our students’ cultural diversity. Montera prides itself on
educating the whole child, both academically and socially,
as we understand that middle school years are a time for
young adults to explore choices, build trust, and develop
relationships. To nurture this, we have invested in an
incredible Restorative Justice program to increase student
awareness of the impact their actions have on each other
and the community, and to encourage growth and maturity.
This, along with our commitment to the Positive Behavior
Intervention Strategies model guides our vision. Montera
offers a wide array of elective courses such as woodshop
(only middle school in OUSD to do so), music, art, Spanish,
computers, yearbook, Man-Up, and leadership. Montera
has one of the largest middle school programs for special
needs children, offering a wide variety and levels of service.
Our Special Education programs are full inclusion with an
emphasis of moving students towards full indepe ndence.
For additional support, we offer intervention classes for
English Language Arts and Mathematics. We incorporate
a blended learning model utilizing Achieve 3000 and Khan
Academy. Montera Middle School has a large afterschool
program that is supported by our PTO and 21st Century
grant funding. We have partnered with Eagle Village
Community Center, who serves as our lead agency providing
programs such as hip hop dance, architecture, homework
help, guitar classes, video game design, among others! Our
sports program offers a wide variety of both competitive
and non-competitive options such as girls volleyball, boys
and girls basketball and soccer, running club, ultimate
