The final year at this school with the new principle is the absolute worst. Once Kimberly Winterbottom is out of office maybe I would recommend this school in the future. There is no support from the offices and higher ups to the students, all money donated from families is pocketed and lost in non needed expenses, where we still dont even have soap in the boys bathrooms, the school has faulty water pipes where the water from the sinks in the culinary room is coming out yellow. Restriction on students bathroom uses to only six times a quarter per class, where only one student is let out at a time for a limit of eight minutes, so if you are feeling sick that day make sure to get everything done quickly, or you will be threatened by staff. If you are sick with flu and are told to stay home for the week by your Doctor, Kimberly Winterbottom will email your family, threatening to hold your credits. So make sure to go to school while you have the flu. There is no freedom within the student body, the last three years this school has given students chances to go to their teachers during their lunch hours, and get help when needed, as well as has the ability to transfer classes during that time. That is no longer the case, where once that bell rings, you must stay in that class. If you are a senior with your partial schedule, you cant ask your teacher a quick question, because once you do a and that bell rings, you are not allowed to leave. Say goodbye to your job as you will not be late, but its not your fault. Of course its Kimberly Winterbottom's. Kimberly Winterbottom will make sure to go out of her way to cancel senior meetings, to drop her own little worthless message, repeating what she announced the week prior, leaving highschool seniors with a very short window to buy prom tickets, have the ability to check what they owe in school dues and obligations. The money you put into this school is not worth it, $60 in class dues for all of that just to go down the drain and not fund a better school. Seniors paying $80 in prom tickets, just for our after party to be held back within out own schools cafeteria, while other schools like Crofton High school renting out a whole night at Sky Zone, or North County High school renting a night at Urban Air. This could be a fault at student fundraising, but where were all the meeting to let students know about such fundraising? Oh, Winterbottom canceled every senior meeting weeks in a row. DONT ATTEND ARUNDEL!

3 principles in 3 years should say enough. If you want your kids to go to a safe school, don't go here. If you want hour kids to get an education, dont go here. Crofton Elementary is a terrible school that has gone down hill quickly under new leadership.

My child is bullied on a daily basis and no one does anything. This school has really gone downhill. Teachers do not discipline students and administration is not helpful at all. Class sizes are high and the school is overcrowded. There "anti-bullying" campaign is a joke. Teachers just tell students to "write incident reports" and do not handle the issues. My child complains of other students talking through class and being distracting. So disappointed. Seems like the teachers don't even want to work there. Only sending my child there because I have no other options. Additionally, there are racial issues that no one want to address. My child is regularly physically and mentally bullied by other children due to her race.
