I would not recommend this school, especially for families of color looking for a supportive and inclusive environment. In our experience, there seemed to be a lack of understanding and sensitivity toward diverse students, and my child often felt singled out rather than supported.Communication from teachers and staff was frequently unclear, which made it difficult to address concerns or feel confident in how situations were being handled. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere felt unprofessional at times, and issues were not always approached with the care and maturity you would expect from educators.No parent wants their child to feel targeted or emotionally distressed at school, and our experience left us worried about the lasting impact. I believe the staff could benefit from additional training in cultural awareness, communication, and student support.

My daughter is doing really well at this school, even through the online program. The teachers are great, we moved here for the schools and are glad we did. Looking forward to next year.

I attended Broadneck High School, and honestly, the reputation it has is completely overrated. The only reason people think highly of it is because of the football team—once you look past that, the rest of the school is a complete mess.The administration does not take 504 plans seriously at all. If you have accommodations, don’t expect them to be respected or enforced. Students who need actual support are left on their own, and the staff seems more interested in brushing issues under the rug than doing their jobs.The student body is another nightmare. The majority of kids here are obsessed with popularity, and many are just plain mean. If you’re even slightly different—especially if you’re neurodivergent—you’re basically setting yourself up to be bullied constantly. And when the bullying happens, don’t expect teachers or staff to step in. They rarely do anything about it.The school environment itself is also disgusting. It’s extremely unhygienic, with dirty bathrooms, trash piling up, and a general sense of neglect everywhere. On top of that, fights and drug use are common, and the school’s response is practically nonexistent. It’s like the administration pretends it’s not happening, even when everyone knows it is.Overall, Broadneck High School is not the “great” school people make it out to be. Unless you only care about football, you’ll find it’s one of the most disappointing and toxic environments you could put a student in.
