Theres no discipline at all. Theres a constant bullying problem. I haven't learned anything sincr 5th grade. Constant physical fights. The teachers have little or no support for people with (Autism, ADHD, etc...) and they get bullied as well. The school food sucks and its overpriced. Teachers practically just read off a book and call it a day of teaching. And they also don't remind you at all if you forgot any work. Some of teachers are way too strict or way too lenient. (One teacher took away my summerfest for playing games in class once, even though I had 1/3 strikes.) (One teacher did absolutely nothing when kids were running around yelling in the middle of teaching)

I’m me word I would use to describe this school is terrible.

You will not find more caring teachers, staff and parent community at any other school. It is a diverse title 1 school located in a thriving creative community. The administration is top notch. The teachers are well educated above their pay levels and some hold doctorate degrees, including in the administration. We moved to Berlin so that our children would benefit from a Buckingham education. They learn valuable life skills, learning how to interact with others who are not exactly like them as well as academics.

I have put three daughters and now two grandsons through Stephen Decatur High School and it is the best of the public schools, tops in the state of Maryland. I prefer this school over the private schools with a top notch education system. Well rounded, the counselors are the best and the teachers have an open communication system with the parents. The sports programs rank very high in the state. My oldest grandson is graduating this year with the youngest a freshman. Colleges know that they are getting the best of students from Stephen Decatur High School.
