Sorrento Run

I was a student of MWS from Kindergarten to the end of sixth grade, and I’d have never expected it to go so downhill after the principal changes a few years ago. To all parents, I am literally begging you not to send your kids here. The education, teachers, students, were all great years ago, but since then it has changed dramatically. There are fights almost every day, and the teachers don’t seem to do anything about it. The teachers bicker and gossip about the students like children— they should not be educators. The students being elementary and middle schoolers, they need to have inspirations. Most of the time family isn’t enough, so they take school with them too. The teachers will literally bully the students, and then the students will bully the other students. You will not be learning. In sixth grade, I had an 100 in every single class. Though, for some reason, I can’t quite seem to remember ever having any piece of work that was graded. Or any piece of work, end of sentence. The school lunch is just normal Baltimore City Public School lunch, it’s going to be bad no matter what. The staff that is hired to care about students mental health, do not care about students mental health. The staff also does not seem to care about the importance of the fact that those 8th graders are supposed to be high schoolers next year, not stingy 1st graders. Transferring was the best decision that I have ever made. I’m not joking, do not go to this school.

Great school with great teachers!! My daughter has had excellent experience in learning. Her second grade teacher has really made a difference!! She loves going to SPES and all the activities that it offers.They make learning fun and enjoyable.

I honestly do not know how this school has received such high ratings. I expected a school culture that prioritized equity, transparency, and student well-being, but that definitely hasn't aligned with what we've experienced.

I like it as a school, and it has really good electives, like voice recording, basketball, sourdough, baking, decorating, computer and robotics ones, and stem and coding ones (coding i don't really like but other people do) and we have newspaper which is fun, and art ones like quiling, sewing, painting, and more. There are nice and bad teachers, and the school has ac and heating and everything but the bathrooms need to be fixed. but it's a good school and yea. Also they have a loooot of fake rules on their rule book, but they don't actually enforce them like they have rules abt certain sweaters and crew socks and literally the administration has told us they're fine and everyone wears them. Nail polish not as much but usualy at least 65 percent of midle sklers have nails at all times and they don't care which makes sense cuz y wld u care abt that in the first place? Also they have a lot of different girls from different backgrounds so u can find where u fit in.
