As a parent of a studious minority child, I am 100% disappointed in the leadership at Dumbarton Middle School. The Administration has no EFFECTIVE protocol for addressing bullies or harassment from students and teachers. Yes i said teachers! The teachers here are so hell bent on control that they give students failing grades if the kid doesn't attend unwarranted detention. The students here are sooooo stressed with trying to get to class with minimal to no travel time ......minimal time to get through lunch the line and eat. Which is so bad , I had to pack my kid lunch everyday. Now that we've scratched the service the BIGGEST ISSUE is the phone investigations when bullying occur and the "so called outcome" not being disclosed to the victim or victims family. The repeat offenders aren't expelled and barely suspended.

I want to share my experience regarding the principal, Michelle Rowland. Unfortunately, my child had a very negative experience under her leadership. While the teachers at the school are incredibly kind, supportive, and truly passionate about teaching, our interactions with the principal were deeply disappointing.My child was a well-behaved student who attended school every day, was never in trouble, and genuinely enjoyed being there.They made many friends and were very happy. However, after we moved, we felt that every effort was made to prevent my child trom continuing to attend the school. This was extremely hurtful and confusing, especially given my child's positive record.As a parent, I was left feeling concerned and disheartened by how the situation was handled. I hope the school reflects on these experiences so that all families and students are treated fairly and respectfully moving forward.

I am very pleased with Towson High Law & Public Policy. My son and daughter have been attending this school for two years now, and they are both in Advanced Placement classes, as the teachers and staff have made it very easy for them to learn. But at first, Towson High wasn't my first option for my kids I wanted them to go to Dulaney but chose Towson as I was recommended and I am happy to say I chose Towson I thought it was a bad school but I was very wrong if you want your kid to be excited about school, to read, to learn I highly recommend Towson High
