This school is a complete mess. I try to call the staff, they never answer you or call you back for things like my child's IEP. Like, I would never send my child here again. I have made the big mistake ever in my life and my child's.
Posted by a parent on 8/22/2014As a former alumnus, I have ties to this school in more than one way. I am a parent of a graduating senior and am happy with the progress that she has made while attending Dunbar. Like most schools in our nation, the school is not perfect. There are some changes that would make the school better, bu

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review1y ago - Dr. Bernard Harris Sr. Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWolfe Street Academy has been an excellent experience for our two children in 2016/17. Mr Gaither's active and hands-on leadership is very inspiring to students & parents alike. Ms Gross (3rd) & Ms Bucke (3rd) are amazing teachers who keep tabs on student's academic progress & wholesome development. The admin & support staff are welcoming and always helpful. There is an excellent (free) after school program. The kids are well behaved & friendly.The school does not have dedicated sports facilities but Mr Mavis makes good use of the multi-use hall for indoor sessions and the nearby Patterson Park is used for outdoor sports.It is unfortunate the hard-work of this great team is not reflected in the Test Scores due to the demographics of Fells Point, many of the students are from families that do not speak English as a first language.Parent Review8y ago - Johnston Square Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has very poor communication with parents. I put a request in October to meet with the principal and my son teacher about him being bullied and the meeting never happened. Constantly inquiring about the meeting. Never recieved a meeting with the principal. I had to call North Avenue and complain to just get a meeting with a counselor. Will not recommend this school to anyone.Parent Review4y ago
