Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle School

Have taught 7th grade Math and are considering a full time elementary position.

Our kids have been going to FSK for five years now and it’s hard to find anything to complain about. We’ve really liked the teachers every year. The principal is really good and engaging. The PTO is very engaging and active. The school is growing, and probably as important is the area around the school is growing. I’m usually cautious of middle school age children but the middle school seems nice and safe and everyone seems respectful. The school is also very active on the communication to parents vis a social media platform which is just awesome! Oh and laptops being issued to every child and free breakfast, lunch and (I assume still) dinner is amazing to me. I recommend giving this school a look if you live anywhere in the city, even outside the school zone since they allow outsiders. It’s a gem.

A model public school educating students from pre-k through 8th grade. Active PTO, dozens of community partners, focus on equitable offerings for students ranging from recipients of special education services through twice-exceptional gifted students. Beautiful green campus, access to adjacent public park and walking distance to the Inner Harbor and Fort McHenry National Monument. A great place to learn and support.

An Excellent school wouldn't choose another school over FSK Great Principal ,GREAT Teachers just an all around TERRIFIC school

This is only a good school for elementary students. The 7th and 8th grades do not even have a math teacher! They're putting these children at risk of being behind their peers. I'm considering pulling my son out because of this and the behavior of some of these kids. They've had problems issues with teachers at the Middle school level for the past 2 3 years and they can't seem to find an administrative assistant who isn't rude.
