Welcome to Montabella Schools, "Home of the Mustangs!"

About Montabella Community Schools

Montabella Community Schools is located in mid-Michigan. The district’s boundaries include portions of three different counties: Montcalm, Isabella, and Mecosta. The school district covers 150 square miles, which then requires about 1200 miles of transportation per day with the majority of the students being transported. We are able to accomplish this efficiently and limit a bus ride to an hour or less for every student.

Montabella Community Schools is a Class C school district comprised of about 800 students. The district is located in mid-Michigan and has boundaries that include three different counties: Montcalm, Isabella, and Mecosta. We get our name Montabella from a combination of the three counties MON-TA-BELLA for MONtcalm, mecosTA and isaBELLA.

A variety of services are offered to students at Montabella Community Schools depending on their grade level. Among these services are Title I, Special Education, Alternative Education, Advanced Programs, Career Center, and a variety of extracurricular opportunities.
