Germantown is a hidden gem in Annapolis. All of the staff is loving and caring, looking out for the students' best interests. There are many ways to get involved with the school, the PTA has a lot of volunteering opportunities. Could not be happier with GES, their faculty & staff!

I am a happy mom of two children at Mills Parole and I think it's a great place. The teachers are very caring and want the students to do their best. The new principal and vice principal are great. They seem very caring and interested in the kids. Mr. Walker comes out every morning to help the traffic. Mrs. Meyers is always available and helps the kids. The Mills Parole staff is a great team!

Very good experience at Rolling Knolls Elementary.

I’m a parent of a kids in the Annapolis lower school. The school administration is a mess! The principal should be replaced. The student standardized test scores dropped significantly because of the elementary school principal making the curriculum less challenging especially in math over the years and not retaining many qualified longstanding teachers. Many of the new teachers hired do not have college degrees or formal teaching experience. Also, parents are constantly solicited for funds to provide expensive gifts (e.g., designer bags, vacations, large checks) for personal use to lower school leadership with the implication that their child will receive preferential treatment. Parents are tired of it and all talk about it.

TALS is a nurturing child centered environment where childhood is truly honored! The in depth studies, my daughter took part in during her preschool years at TALS are still relevant for her today at age seven. For example, she will insist that we get a photo of an insect of interest and then research origins just like the bug study in her TALS portfolio. In fact, she will frequently read through her TALS portfolio with great pleasure and pride. Ms. Georgia's kind, gentle spirit envelopes both the children in her care and their families. Our family feels that the foundation provided at TALS has been an integral part of our daughter's success at the larger public school setting she currently attends.
