Neelsville is a social experiment. It's literally a guide to how to fend for yourself. The staff rarely cared—other than a few, such as Mr. Freeland, Madame Marks, Mrs. Rosano, Mr. Kelley, and Mr. Gilraldo. The communication between the school, parents, and students was very poor. (Ex. a field trip coming up, and didn't tell students or parents until 3-5 days before the trip). The safety in this school was also poor. There were guns, tasers, and other weapons brought onto school premises. Teachers didn't really care for the students, and students also didn't care about classes either. No one tried, and clubs and programs were never promoted, so chances were missed. Kids with special needs weren't really cared for; they were just left alone. The kids were terrible—fights all the time and bad treatment towards each other. My experience here absolutely sucked, and I hope no one sends their child here, ever.

Am very impressed with Seneca Valley. It’s community involvement and dedication to the students is commendable. My daughter is excited to go to school because of her peers and the staff.

My son, who is now 21 attended Gibbs. My daughter who is now 20, attended Gibbs and now my youngest who’s 6 is currently attending Gibbs. With such a big gap in time one would think there would be changes but this school continues to soar in the positive ways that it has for years… from the early morning greetings from all the smiling faces of the staff and many times who’s in attendance??? Yes, if u guess it right! Mrs Bosnic! Such a lovely principle! I pray and hope everyone has had a great experience at Gibbs as my kids has. My 2 eldest went on to college and Bowie State now has an excellent basketball player ( full scholarship) and it all started from a basketball program that was held at Gibbs. My 6 year old( Skylar Smith) jumps in my car after picking her up at kiss and ride, telling me how much she loves her school and teaches!
