Harlem Park Elementary School

I was very skeptical about the new administrators at first, but now I really see some change going on in the school. A lot of teachers left that didn't really care about the kids. And the climate is nice and calm as soon as you walk in the doors. Good job principal Cole and Spears!

I feel like the school is constantly evolving and changing for the better.

I absolutely love this school! I hate the fact that it only goes to the 2nd grade. This was not a good decision Baltimore City Board of Education. Principal Dendinger, is the best he always response to emails he even called me late at night due to a concern I had with my son. My son has been going there since Pre-K. I have a special needs child and their Special Educations teachers are amazing. All of the staff are amazing and they truly love these kids. My child receive services through the school such as PT, OT, SLP they are amazing with there feedback and resources. Also, they really showcase these kids talents during Christmas and Black History performances. It’s a small school but it’s amazing school and I really wish it went to at least the 5th grade. They also have the Judy Center for babies to 5 years old. And then they have the community closet for clothes, I was able to give away my son’s old school uniforms and other clothes. It feels good to send my child to school and not have to worry about him.

My child has attended this school for 2 years. She has excelled in reading, being moved to a higher class to continue to challenge her. Also, she has improved in math and anytime there was an issue with my child I was notified by the principal. The school is always open if I need to visit to check on my child and the staff all seem competent and polite. So far I am satisfied with the performance of this school. They do have a PTA who along with the principal is always willing to help the families of students in any way they can. They also offer assistance with getting your child to and from school if you are too sick to take them yourself! They offer awards, certificates, and other incentives to encourage the students to work hard.

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.

well where should I start..over the years its changed back in the day it was a good school I use to go to this school as a child and thought my child could attend now boyyyyyy was I wrong! my child was attacked by another child after a previous attack in the classroom with the same child my 1st grade child asked to go to the bathroom and when he exited the restroom stall that same child attacked him with a pencil just under his left eye my baby could've lost his eye or worst and this school never reported anything tried to have school police lock me up like I cared. by law we are required to send our children to school I called the board of education they told me to call child protection services that was ridiculous I'm not going to ever be that person. these people need to held at the same standards as parents when things happens to people children while being in school as parents we are held accountable even when we don't actually see what happens so should be the school staff and others. my child was very withdrawn after that
