In 2014 four Montgomery Public School high schools made it onto the US News and World Report best high schools list, the most of any system in the state, with LAMP High School being named both the best high school in the state and among the top 20 high schools in the nation. Two other MPS schools (BTW Magnet High School and Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School) were named in the top ten best Alabama high schools list, and George Washington Carver High School was also recognized as a top high school on the list.

In 2017 the state took over a number of failing schools in the system. In April 2017, it was reported that the principals of the 27 failing schools were to receive ten-percent salary increases and three-year contract extensions.
