My child has attended Wade for four years. It has been a wonderful experience for all of us. All of his teachers have been the best.

Wade is an awesome school with a caring staff of teachers and administrators. Anytime my children have needed extra assistance in math or reading the teachers have always offered materials or extra assistance to tend to the problem or difficulty. The principal, Mrs. DiSabatino, is very involved with

They have a great number of volunteers who come and do work for the teachers which relieves some of their stress and gives them more time to tend to the children. The school has high expectations for the children both academically and behaviorally. Classroom student size can be very high at times (25-30 kids) but that is just the nature of the growing community. It would be nice if they could acquire more space in order to expand the school and parking lot. They have one of the highest MSA scores in the county if not the highest. Read less

We enrolled our son after moving here and from day one, we were not impressed. We're a military family and our son, a 5th grader, has attended 3 different public schools in as many states. All have been wonderful, positive experiences, until here. We can say with confidence this school, his 4th, is

With such a high military population in the area, this school should have no problem helping the new kids adjust to the academic requirements specific to MD.

After the 1st four months of the 06-07 school year we pulled our son out and are happily homeschooling where he is learning in a fun, safe environment. Read less
