Leadership and classroom management of inexperienced teachers are troubling concerns.

Everything about this school is so wrong they are only worried about the Hispanic kids ,for example BLACK HISTORY MONTH is just that trying to include Latin,African and carribean is disrespectful to the black Americans the fault for freedom and justice so other could use it as a personal gain or recognition factor without showing respect to the black Americans that paved the way for you and don’t want to forget how they constantly made it seem like my child was a trouble maker when he’s trying to make new friends ,it’s not his fault Hispanic kids don’t understand English

I would rate my experience a 10. As the leadership supports the needs of the students.

This was my daughters 1st year. We had some issues toward the middle of the school year but the principal handled it.

I have witnessed both excellence and failure in education. Unfortunately, J.P. Ryon Elementary in Charles County, Maryland, represents the latter in the most extreme sense. The academic program at this school is, without exaggeration, one of the worst I have ever encountered in the nation—a complete waste of taxpayers' hard-earned dollars.The absence of advanced placement classes for both math and reading is particularly alarming. In a time when schools across the country are pushing to challenge and elevate students, J.P. Ryon has taken a step back, offering nothing to stimulate the intellectual growth of its brightest students. The fact that no structured opportunities exist for accelerated learners to thrive in core subjects is an educational crime.The curriculum, if one could even call it that, is nothing short of abysmal. It fails to engage students, lacks depth, and offers no real preparation for future academic success. Parents are paying taxes to fund what amounts to babysitting rather than an education. The school's disregard for any kind of academic rigor leaves students ill-prepared for the challenges ahead, and quite frankly, it is a disservice to the children and the community at large.Taxpayers should be outraged that their money is being squandered on such an inadequate program. J.P. Ryon Elementary is failing its students, and it’s time the district and county take action before another generation is left behind.

My daughter loves this school. She’s improved in all subjects with her teacher, Ms. McDaniel.
