If you have a smart child look out! The school lacks the proper help to deal with the vast student body performing tasks under grade level. The teachers do not challenge enough. No advanced classes for gifted children. It’s SOO sad! Also for some reason they have a issue sending kids to the office that act out and disrupt class. Not sure if it “counts” towards their referral numbers or something. But come on. This is Allegheny County, MD though not sure what I expect.

I have 3 children at Fort Hill. My son played football and my daughters are in the band. They are all 3 involved in other activities as well; tennis, drama, choir, wrestling, mock trial, science bowl, environmental bowl, etc.. You get out what you pit in. But over half the football team has a 3.8 or higher GPA. The coach pushes players to make academics a priority. Football players also have a special needs football buddy. And a few years ago one of the special needs students was the homecoming queen. Chosen by her classmates. These kids are learning more then x and o's and so much more then what can be taught in a book. My son was able to take 2 years of ap physics and ap em and ap bio. Plus ap calc. My daughter has 4 ap classes her junior year and next year will be duel enrollment

My son has been here since 6th grade and it was a great choice we had to attend braddock for a month and Washington is 10 times better. Some kids mess with others but my son sticks up for himself and he is fine. Overall he has had a great middle school year and learned alot, his reading level jumped up by 100% in one grade, so the teachers are doing a great job and i am happy.
