Arbutus Middle School

Current parent with a student at the school. The school culture is great and they have great teachers and a partnership with the Y of Central Maryland.

All three of my children attended AES and absolutely loved it! The teachers and staff are so dedicated and genuinely care about the students even after graduation! My only complaint is the drop and pick up congestion. I wish the parents cared more about following the rules and not parking in front of the no parking zones in front of the library. It inhibits cars from pulling into the car rider pick up line and buses pulling in. Also parents park, then walk their child across the street making it dangerous to pull out. Why not just use the car rider loop?

I would rate my experience to be a 9 out of 10. My daughter loves this school and has had a tremendous amount of support while attending here. The staff is amazing and supportive. They go to great length to support the students and it shows!

The administrator went out of her way to ensure my very apprehensive kindergarten child was able to be escorted to class each day at the beginning of the school year. The team of teachers made sure to keep me abreast of his day and social interactions.

It was a pleasure to have my daughter at this school! The diversity, inclusion of children with different learning needs, and overall school culture was phenomenal. I appreciate the entire staff for the heart they put into Relay on a daily basis. My son will be there in two years and I’m excited to have him go through Relay.

This school is involved in a lawsuit for a teacher drugging students with melatonin for months without parental consent.
