Awesome school district with student focused initiatives!

As a parent of children that have gone through the Montour system, I would strongly advise parents to stay clear of this district. Just google the name and you will find countless articles as to what this district is about. They care more about their politics than they do the children. No integrity whatsoever.
Review Montour High School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
