Building Youth

The staff is rude, unorganized and it’s very unfortunate my child has to come here. It’s the main reason I’m trying to move.

Teachers have a genuine passion for the kids. We have loved every teacher! The school would benefit from actual classrooms versus section opened space but BCPS needs to work on that.

This school has a music teacher that yells at the kids all day like he hates his jobs and all of the kids complain about him not sure how he’s still a teacher. This school is one sided and offer any help to the kids that is being bullied by other kids and they don’t hold all parties accountable. I really don’t trust this school and I don’t plan on keeping my kids enrolled for long.

The school is very clean and organized, and they help the children a lot with their learning

I was very happy with the teachers, and my son learned a lot in kindergarten and half the year in 1st grade before we moved. The problem was most of the parents were not involved. At our bus stop with 20 kids there were only 2 or 3 parents and the kids often got in fights and talked back to the adults and damaged people's property. When we transferred my son to Mays Chapel Elementary his behavior transformed. He stopped behaving aggressively and talking back and he said he can learn because there is no fighting there.

The school is a treasure. The pandemic was difficult for every school system because no one was prepared for virtual learning. Mt.Pleasant suffered some bumps in the road but their students were still successful learners. No student was passed on because of the situation. The school's high academic standards were upheld. Their slogan says it all: "Awakening the genius in each child".
