Honest gap: the source's published total enrolment (468) and the sum of its own per-grade breakdown (185 + 157 + 163 = 505) do not reconcile. Both figures are shown exactly as published rather than adjusted or backed out to match one another — confirm current headcounts with the school office before relying on either number.

School facts verified against the SD43 Montgomery Middle school page, the SD43 Board of Education / Trustees page, and the SD43 school locator. Catchment, registration, and cross-catchment information from SD43's cross-catchment policy page. Enrolment (468 students, 2025–2026) and the grade-level breakdown above are cross-referenced against publicly available SD43 school-profile data, retrieved September 2026; the Late French Immersion and Late Entry Montessori programs, the Indigenous Education Support program, and the SD43 International Student Program were cross-referenced against publicly reported SD43 district program information, also retrieved September 2026. All SD43.bc.ca links on this page were re-verified September 2026 after SD43 relaunched its website — the previous SharePoint-style URLs (school pages, the locator page, registration, cross-catchment) all now 404 or redirect to the SD43 homepage. This same link rot is very likely present across the rest of the school-guide pages and should be swept sitewide, not just fixed on this one.

Thinking about the move, not just the school?

That's the work I focus on across the Tri-Cities. Start with the move-up guide, then get a no-obligation read on what your current home could sell for today.
