My son is a student and I have another son starting kindergarten next year. We have had nothing but amazing experiences at CMES. The teachers and staff are so dedicated and go above and beyond for each and every child. I feel genuinely lucky to live around here so my kids can attend this amazing school.

Transferring to loch Raven for my senior year was pretty nerve wracking, I didn’t know what to expect. First off, the administration is extremely nice and supportive. My counselor is great! The students are pretty chill, except for some of the 9th graders. There are some altercations, but that is to be expected. The teachers are fine, just do your work and your set. I find that in the AP classes, teachers put in more effort; there is less computer work in those classes. The cafeteria food isn’t good, but it isn’t terrible, then again it’s free. Loch Raven offers qualifying students to do duel enrollment with CCBC free of charge- super happy about that. Overall, this is a pretty good small public high school.

It's disappointing that this school is the highest rated one in the area. The kids are cruel, some of the teachers are blatantly sexist and "too uncomfortable" to teach certain topics, and the cafeteria chicken has given some kids food poisoning. The environment is okay, and sure some of the teachers care, but the principal is very ineffective, and the asst. principal does more than he does to be honest. The new counselors aren't very helpful, and there isn't enough work given to challenge the students. If you REALLY want your kids to be high school ready, or even remotely college ready, enroll your kid in private school.
