For the 1992-93 school year, Montgomery High School was formally designated as a National Blue Ribbon School, the highest honor that an American school can achieve. Montgomery Middle School was recognized as a Blue Ribbon School for the 1999-2000 school year.[3]
The Montgomery Township School District has been ranked among the best schools in New Jersey. In the past few years Montgomery Township Schools were ranked as "the best bang for the buck" (New Jersey Monthly magazine), referring to the high achievement of students with a relatively low spending per pupil (compared to other school districts in New Jersey). Montgomery High School was the 4th ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2006 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools.[4]
