Living in Montgomery Schools

Public Schools, K-12

The Montgomery Public School System consists of all public schools in Montgomery County. There are about 33,500 students in 35 elementary schools, 11 junior/middle schools and eight high schools. In addition to these schools, the system has two non-traditional programs as well as three schools designed to educate the physically and/or mentally impaired. The Montgomery Public School System employs about 4,000. The system is governed by a seven-member elected Board. The Board appoints the superintendent.

To register a child in local public schools, you will need proof of residence, a Social Security card for the child, an Alabama immunization certificate and an official copy of the child's birth certificate. A child must be age 5 (for kindergarten) or 6 (for first grade) on or before September 2.
