Franklin Square Elementary School

Terrible experience with my child being bullied.

Excellent, small, tight-knit community at this school with teachers and staff who truly care about students. My family has loved sending our 2 boys here and taking advantage of the wonderful resources and programs it offers. My children have both excelled here. Highly recommended!

Students at Harlem Park E/M School get an exceptional experience at an inner city school. The students are exposed to cultural, educational, and social experiences that they would not have otherwise. Every effort is made to ensure the success of all students through whole group and individual instruction. All students experience a family atmosphere that make them want to be a part of this school. Every student and family is important and supported.

My children are in the Ingenuity Program at the school. The teachers are very responsive. I love the student-led conferences. The children are exposed to a higher level of extracurricular activities compared to those in the County. They have the resources to advance a child academically. The students are exposed to the Center for Talented Youths in collaboration with Johns Hopkins. I am not sure why the negative comments on the school. My son is exposed to advanced learning in school.

I wish I could give this school negative 5 stars. It is absolutely the worst school I have ever came in contact with. The teachers hardly teach and let the kids do whatever, they allow them to fight and bully other kids and act like they did not see anything. They like to say the students are lying on them when they tell their parents what's going on. The kids never get homework. The principal Ms. Adams never knows of anything when you bring it to her attention she says she's going to handle it and it never gets handled if you bring it back to her attention she deflects and goes in defence mode.

I love how excited my kid is every time he comes home from Steuart Hill. The teachers are so welcoming and the rest of the staff is great too. I would recommend this school to the entire community if i could.
