Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle School

I am an Asian and I love that my child is welcomed with so much of warmth. The principal and teachers are very competitive. My child loves going to school and I feel that's where the teachers have won my faith. He does very well at studies. I am so glad that my child goes to City Springs.

We love this school and almost left last year because of the terrible principal but thankfully she is finally gone and it’s returning to its former glory. The teachers at Prep are top notch, class sizes are small, kids get individual instruction based on their skill level but also learn how to be in an environment with kids who have different backgrounds and learning levels. We have an advanced learner and also a kid with an IEP and we have been equally impressed with their classroom experiences. Also reliable, affordable after care and a lot of options for after school clubs, esp as kids get older. We are so happy at Prep so please don’t let the bad reviews about our former principal scare you off! Our new principal (as of 2024/2025 school year) is great and we experienced almost no turnover of teachers since she started last year.

5 stars! HHA is a gem of a school. Outstanding community that cares about its kids.

Love this school and the amazing staff!

Have been at St Casimir School and this school is a gem. If you live in Baltimore City this school will keep you living in the city. The principal is wonderful. Mrs. Heffner - she knows all the parents, all the students by name, is always present and active at all school events. The teachers are caring, loving yet firm. The school community is very tight knit. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this school has been for our family. Kids are confident, happy and love school and learning, The school has a long history in Baltimore city with a beautiful church for mass services that students are encouraged to do readings for. The location in Canton makes opportunities for community activities and field trips very accessible.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at [School Name]. From the moment we enrolled our child, we were impressed by the strong emphasis on family engagement and the supportive learning environment the school fosters.The teachers and staff go above and beyond to ensure that parents are actively involved in their children's education. There are regular opportunities for parents to participate in classroom activities, volunteer for events, and attend workshops that help us understand and support our child's learning journey. The school also hosts family nights, where parents and students can engage in fun, educational activities together, strengthening the bond between home and school.Academically, the school offers a well-rounded curriculum that is both challenging and engaging. Our child has shown tremendous growth, not just in core subjects like reading and math, but also in critical thinking and creativity. The teachers are skilled at differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students, ensuring that each child is both supported and challenged at their own level.Overall, TNCS has created a welcoming, inclusive community where both students and families are valued and supported. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a place where their child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
