Have had a wonderful experience with three very different children

My first child went through MRMS unscathed. My second child is completely different. While academically successful, we have had numerous issues with the new administration not being knowledgeable about county policy, not adhering to policy, not taking bullying seriously, and non-responsive unless I have gone to the next echelon for a response. While they are trying to work with us it seems, my child is in a minority community to which the administration and students seem uneducated and unresponsive to bias behavior. I have a 3rd child that will be attending next year with their own set of "issues" and I am truly scared that he will be left behind, lost in the shuffle, and/or bullied. Really disappointed with the new administration; All talk, and not until you involve the county. The county isn't much better with the issues we are dealing with, but at least they hold the school accountable. Teachers themselves have been outstanding for my current 6th grader.

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.
