Having been raised in the well-regarded Severna Park school system, and now raising our own kids in the Broadneck Elementary school district, we were pleasantly surprised that Broadneck seems to be easily on par with the best in Anne Arundel County. We have noticed none of the morale issues cited in
... Read more another comment. While the 'open space' layout is one of the few negatives, my understanding is that Broadneck is next on the list to have full walls added. As for the complaint about teaching to the test, teachers throughout the state are more-or-less required to this. Whether this is good or bad, it's not unique to Broadneck.

What a great school! The parents are what makes this school a success, and they have got to have one of the strongest PTO's in the state.

Broadneck used to be a top school. I have volunteered for years and watched the declining status academically and emotionally. Overcrowding and classrooms scattered (as well as outdoor trailers) with partitions separating instruction areas creates too many distractions and unhappy teachers/staff. My

Has a good reputation in the county but keep in mind most of the public schools here are horrible. Broadneck elementary has morale problems with the teaching staff.
