My son, another proud graduate, is well on his way to completing his Associate's degree in Game Design and Game Development at Anne Arundel Community College.Meade High School has played a significant role in shaping my children's futures, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a school that truly supports its students in achieving their dreams.

My child started middle school at Old Mill North in 6th grade. She was only 11 years old, and what she had to endure as an 11 year old was just awful. This school is a nightmare for parents and the students. There are physical fights ALL THE TIME! The teachers try, but cannot control the kids in the classroom. Bullying is going on, and its the same kids every time. In my opinion not enough is being done for the safety of the children. Not enough consequences for those repeat offenders. We attended a basketball game at the school one evening as a family, and it was so rowdy. There were police cars present and fight was breaking out in the gymnasium! I grabbed my younger child and we ran out of there. I did not feel safe at all. What kind of school do you need police presence at for school events?? The buses take an over an hour to get home, which means my child is out of the house fom 8:30 until 5:30. This is too long of a day for these kids!! What makes things worse is the bus driver is the nastiest woman I have ever met. I wish i could sell my house and get out of this area. I know middle schools are challenging because of the age of the kids, but this school is worse than horrible!

I have had a son go through all six years at Ridgeway, and my second son is currently in there. This school has hired highly qualified teachers who care about the students in their class and go the extra mile to make sure all students feel included. Mrs. Alvear is the best principal ever and the school has great communication. The PTA raises enough money at their booster thon to make most school events, including dances, free for students. Both of my children have taken part in clubs that have been offered at Ridgeway. We’ve been very happy with our experiences at Ridgeway!
