High Point

Class sizes are ever expanding (some grades have 8 classes with over 30 kids per class), the school doesn’t allow any parent volunteers or visits, all events must be held outside because there’s too many parents to have them come inside the school building. Not enough paraeducators or inclusion helpers, and they will fight tooth and nail not to grant IEPs and 504 plans. Meanwhile the school has brand new developments that keep getting squeezed in right beside it or directly across the street so that more kids can enroll, and the county won’t even fully fund the school system’s budget.

Tremendous elementary school. Great kids, great educators, safe.

We are having a wonderful experience and plan to keep both of our children at Friends School of Harford until eighth grade.

Advent provides an exceptional learning environment with bright classrooms and teachers who encourage each child to learn and excel. The children grow academically and spiritually with a Christian education. The Parent Teacher League works together well, and the Principal has been a wonderful asset to the school. We are very pleased with our child's experience at Advent and would recommend any parent looking for a quality education for their child or children to come see what Advent has to offer.

bad school would not recommend move if you are going there.
