Hampden Elementary/Middle School

I cannot recommend Margaret Brent highly enough. The teachers are wonderful, the principal is intelligent, creative and involved, and the school is small with a huge community supporting it. Being at Margaret Brent truly feels like being a part of a family. Our kids have learned so much and are well beyond national averages in terms of their test scores. I very much doubt the accuracy of the data presented for MB.

Don't send your kid , I know they make parents on enroll their kids because they don't want to be helpful for special needs children what a shame disgusting what kind of principal do they have there.

This school is terrible it starts with the front office the have a terrible attitude so why would the kids have a good attitude you walk in they don’t greet you at all you sit there and they won’t say anything they must of found the rudest people to work there I hate this school nobody is nice there

I am an alum and always thought my kids would go to Calvert. It was a great education for me many years ago but as we went through the admissions process for my son, I was very disappointed. Calvert's curriculum is very outdated compared to other schools and their approach to students is incredibly rigid with very linear instruction and a focus on kids being compliant rather than being creative.I heard similar complaints from other parents who took their kids out of Calvert but have started seeing it from other alumni, as well. Calvert touts they are less expensive than other private schools but this might be a case of, "you get what you pay for."Hopefully they right the ship but I would look elsewhere until then.
