Sandy Plains Elementary School

The Principal is very Rude and lies right to your face he doesnt have the students best interests the Teachers and Aides care more about the student then he does

I’ve had the worst educational experience with my children at this school. My son has an IEP, which they IGNORED. They wanted to put my Black son in the office all day because they don’t have the resources to support with children with emotional behavioral issues, even though they claim they do. They did NOT uphold their end of their own agreements to support my children through third party counseling! This school is so bad, in December I withdrew them in order to homeschool them for the remainder of the school year.

the school has great teachers there and lots of fun events for the children

Principal is a joke. He makes blanket accusations about kids without provocation. Super unorganized. Office staff has no idea what they're doing but feel the need to be extremely rude and condescending over the phone. Oh and if your kid is being bullied, they won't do a thing about it. But if your kid finally sticks up for herself after being taunted all year, she's accused of being racist. This school is the absolute worst school.

Grange is small school ( even if now they are outgrowing the building itself ) that often gets overlooked or forgotten in the variety of elementary school within Dundalk. In my child's experience there it was all positive and there were many great friends and teachers met over the years. The school just recently joined the long list of school in Dundalk considered a community school so that has opened the doors for better family engagement. Hopefully this allows for a stronger serving role for the community as it evolves. Any issues within the school are not different from any other school in Baltimore county suffering with policies and practices implemented by central office / department of education/ corrupt country executives
