Honestly, the teachers at this school aren’t the problem, they try to do their job and teach. The real issue is the students. There’s a serious lack of discipline, and it feels like almost every bathroom has kids smoking. I’ve also heard about students bringing weapons to school, and it seems like the school doesn’t always find out. There are also gangs involved, and fights happen frequently. On top of that, there are a lot of students dealing drugs, and robberies happen daily. Overall, it’s a really unsafe environment because of the student behavior, not because of the teachers.

High caliber teachers. Atmosphere is a bit competitive but it suits my child and motivates her. Very engaged pta and fantastic multicultural events make this a fun school community for our family. Lots of racial, ethnic and cultural diversity at this school, but being in Bethesda, it lacks socioeconomic diversity. We like the academics and teacher quality though.

It’s horrible. I do not recommend it. Throughout the whole school year, we never had ONE lock down drill, and nobody talks about it. The teachers are sometimes rude, like they don’t even try to recruit good teachers. They don’t make you excited to learn and students can do horrible pranks with no consequences. Do not recommend AT ALL, do not send your kid here. Also anyone different is not acceptable, plus the dress code isn’t reinforced. My friend who is of color (which doesn’t even matter), was wearing a tube top and so was another girl who was white. Then old teacher walked by, nodding nicely at the white girl, but then started to call out on my friend on how inappropriate she was. Do not send your child here!!!
