We’re excited to share that two of our elementary schools have been ranked among the top 50 in Alabama — with Forest Avenue Academic Magnet earning the #1 spot and Bear Exploration Center also making the list! 🎉👏


Montgomery Public Schools is opening its doors to families interested in exploring the district’s diverse magnet programs through a series of Magnet School Interest Information Sessions. These sessions will give parents and students an inside look at the specialized academic pathways, arts programs, and STEM opportunities that make MPS magnet schools some of the most dynamic learning environments in the region. Families will have the chance to meet program representatives, ask questions, and discover which school best fits their child’s interests and goals.

Courage. Compassion. Commitment.
On First Responders Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the heroes who answer the call—protecting, serving, and supporting our schools and community every day 💙
