The school seems to teach for the statewide test that are given. My daughter had lessons on the same topics for months at a time. The Leadership is there to say no more than to help the kids grow. There is not a real sense of community. Through online learning during the pandemic it as obvious teachers were not teaching. Her teacher meet with the students for a short time and then assigned them graded homework that it was up to the parents to teach and help the student with. Bottom line before the pandemic and after the pandemic, the school seems more interested in their ranking than actually teaching the students for the long term and providing a strong foundation for them to succeed in a highly ranked university.

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.
