I am a 8th grader here, and all I can say is that just because this place is a magnet school, looks amazing from the outside, and offers different things than other schools does not mean its good whatsoever. The money for this school is horribly managed, and it has taken them months to get the whole 6th grade iPads. For a tech school, the tech here fails all the time, the wifi breaks down a lot as well. Kids here are not friendly and racist. It has taken them many years to improve the bathrooms and other rooms. Out of all the MCPS schools, Argyle needs a lot of updating- nearly all of the classrooms have no windows, and the layout of the school is crazy and is hard to navigate at times. Majority of the teachers are nice, but it takes forever for any admin to fire the actual teachers with no experience, but fire all the beneficial teachers. Besides this, the teachers, and making sure the students are comfortable is really valued here and that is really great. Besides the teachers and managing of the students, I would not go here at all. It is very misleading.

AEHS has exceeded our expectations for a public high school in Montgomery County. Such a supportive learning environment with many opportunities for challenge. Lots of AP and IB courses and dedicated faculty teaching students coming from varying socio-economic backgrounds. Environment breeds free-thinking, respectful and compassionate individuals who recognize the importance and value of diversity in society and possess the skills to create change. Wonderful experience!

I currently attend Kennedy as a Junior. This school would be way greater than it is if it weren't for the individual students themselves. Teachers here actually care about what they do, it's just that some students don't try. There are amazing things in this school like the IB programs, AP classes, Health Professions, Teacher Academy, Broadcasting, and NJROTC. All of these programs are open to anyone to join, it's just that people don't take the initiative to try. Recently in our school, there has been a surge in overdoses and we (the students), believe the administrator system hasn't been doing as well as they could have been. The security also seems to not try. They befriend students who are notorious for doing drugs and getting into fights. There seem to be only two security guards who care about doing their best for the school. About sports in this school, we do take sports seriously, but some sports don't have recognition. Most of the time, no one goes to girls' sports games unless it's girls' volleyball. Being in a team really opens you up to new friendships and I would definitely recommend it.Other than the fighting and drug issues we have in this school, the school would be a great place to be

I have had 3 kids graduate and a 4th is a current senior. The school is likely one of the most diverse in the area if not the country with a roughly 30-30-30-10 split and is accepting of gender diversity as far as I can tell. The diversity is a huge plus IMO, and there are programs and shows etc that reinforce this. The school is politically active and you may remember this was one of the high schools that gained national attention with a BLM walkout early summer 2020.Homework is not too much or too little (it's school after all, there will be homework). All my kids played multiple sports and were able to fit in the homework. None are geniuses, but did well enough to be accepted into decent 4 year universities.Blair has 2 magnets, both of which are very well regarded. You can excel outside of the magnets as well. My 2 elder children were accepted to CAP but only one pursued it. The 2 younger didn't even apply as not interested. The choice to join or not is ok either way. Usually one of the top nat'l merit schools each year with the science magnetIt is a very large school, but it is easy to find your 'group'. If a larger school is not for you, there are smaller options within the downcounty consortium such as nearby Northwood that some choose.Like many things, the teachers and admin are helpful but sometimes you need to pursue or initiate this which is fine with me- kids need to learn to advocate for themselves.

I give it 2 stars because most of the my teachers are nice despite pd5, but lets not talk about it ok. my 7 period classes are good. So i rate this school 3 stars out of 5, the 2 stars no because well, the school in my reference is toxic, and not very good at defending innocent kids. Because well some kid almost got suspended for using a banana as a gun, Is just a banana most kids play shooting games and they dont get suspended. so they need to improve that.

I currently have an 18 year old (graduating senior) and a 16 year old (sophomore) at WHS. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this school! The teachers are extremely helpful and the faculty is very supportive. My kids receive the help and guidance they need and my 18yr old senior was able to get into the CDI program (Collegiate Directions - a truly amazing program that offers students step by step guidance and aid throughout the college application process. The counselors stay in touch with the students through their years in University).Wheaton Knights are focused and engaged.- Judy (WHS parent)

Awesome performance space, lots of seating and tons of great student actors! The parents are very involved with helping and the teachers and administrators are very kind! Nice school over all.

They keep parents informed about school matter and focus students on reading, math and writing
