Southwest Academy

Amazing school we need tons of schools like swa I really recommend this amazing school my son learned so much and his grades are all straight As thanks to the amazing helpful teachers and the students know how to act right overall I recommend.

We need more schools like SWA! It's accepting, lively, diverse, and equipped with extraordinary teachers who truly are allies for minority students. The students of SWA will be the leaders of tomorrow's America, which is why it's so important that diverse schools like SWA are supported. Every school has its issues, but at least at SWA, there's no issue with lack of diversity or denying students the right to have culturally inclusive lessons. After the pandemic, these kids and teachers stuck together and overcame gaps in learning. Go Tigers!

This school is the absolute worst!!! my son have been bullied sense he has been here I wouldn't recommend this school at all

My daughter is has attended SWA for two years now. Initially I had mixed feelings because of her minor disciplinary encounters with students, but correlated it to middle school transition. The Guidance Counselors and Faculty were helpful in terms of Communication and the academic cuuriculum seems to be to up to par, above average in my opinion compared to same level schools nearby. A suggestion I would make regarding SWA is to increase the number of extra curricular student activities and expand their Magnet program in sync with others offered in our BCPS system.

I was a student a southwest Academy last year and I loved it very much so of course the schools not perfect no school is but it's very much educational and fun theirs so many beneficial opportunities for the kids in the extra curriculum area such as chorus,dance and band. There are afterschool. Programs and trips to take such as going to new York and performing and staying over night. And the Spanish program is amazing. Your child would have a chance to take up to Spanish two. And Southwest started this cool program last year called get global where each mouth they recognize and celebrate a culture. We also had many concerts and junior prom and dance mixers so your child will love it there
