As a student here, it’s an ok school, nice teachers for the most part, mid lunch, very good Special Edu. Accommodations, although questionable attendance policies, school does need some modernization but other than that, Good school!

Piccowaxen was a great school for me. Bullying wasn't a problem in my later years here. I talked to the students in 6th grade regularly to hopefully make them feel comfortable. However the the school has its flaws. The staff are not the best, especially the vice principle. (I don't know about the new principle since I left before the new one came) If your just starting school and in 6th grade, theres nothing to worry about unless your asking for it. Most of the 7th/8th graders are nice though. The test scores are very high. The school is also small, yet it isn't overcrowded. Only 400~ students. The classes are not divided by concrete walls though, so you will hear other teachers talking. The technology is dated. Still has Windows XP and a terrible networks. Thats more of the entire school system though. The teachers are friendly. No problems with any of my teachers. And lastly the school enforces rules a bit too heavily. You get in serious trouble for the littlest of things. Piccowaxen is one of the best middle schools in the county.

Newly implanted military single father here and this has been the absolute worst process for trying to enroll my son in school. He’s going to the first grade and so far we have had a grueling process of enrolling or trying to enroll just prove domicile status. If there was another elementary school in the area I would try and enroll elsewhere!!!!!!!!
