The school does NOT respect the boundaries between teacher and student. They are NOT transparent with parents at all and there is no accountability as the principal is more of a friend to the teachers and will not reprimand them accordingly. The teacher I specially had an issue with and nothing was
Posted by a parent on 8/21/2026No decision is made at SBCS without considering how it will affect everyone, most notably the students. The Expeditionary Learning curriculum is great! Instead of learning a little about a lot of things, students really dig deep to learn a lot about each subject. There is a lot of creativity at the
Posted by a community member on 12/5/2016My child has attended SBCS since K-1 and will be going for grade 5 in the fall. She is very advanced and participates actively in her studies. For the first time, this school year, her teacher (Mr. Peace) actually assigned her additional homework and created assignments catered to her academic rigor
Posted by a parent on 7/11/2016Horrible principle so you cannot expect the staff to be any better. Not willing to work with parents. Transferred my son
Posted by a parent on 9/17/2014Love this school. They have a calm, peaceful, and professional atmosphere. My son a 6th. Grader. And he absolutely loves it. He never really fit in to public school curriculum. Here, he can be and think different and be rewarded for it.

My family has loved sending our 2 boys here and taking advantage of the wonderful resources and programs it offers. My children have both excelled here. Highly recommended!Parent Review4y ago - Harlem Park Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageStudents at Harlem Park E/M School get an exceptional experience at an inner city school. The students are exposed to cultural, educational, and social experiences that they would not have otherwise. Every effort is made to ensure the success of all students through whole group and individual instruction. All students experience a family atmosphere that make them want to be a part of this school. Every student and family is important and supported.Other Review2y ago - James McHenry Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children are in the Ingenuity Program at the school. The teachers are very responsive. I love the student-led conferences. The children are exposed to a higher level of extracurricular activities compared to those in the County. They have the resources to advance a child academically. The students are exposed to the Center for Talented Youths in collaboration with Johns Hopkins. I am not sure why the negative comments on the school. My son is exposed to advanced learning in school.Parent Review5y ago - Steuart Hill Academic Academy

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a teacher at this school in 2018. Stay far far away. The first day I was there - 14 fights. Children are allowed to roam the halls in packs beating up other students. They get up and leave class anytime they feel like it.The principal, Harold Henry, is useless. He makes promises to staff and parents and then does not keep those promises. In the two weeks at the beginning of the school year he was in my classroom 1 time. During my time there, children were rushed to the hospital from being beaten up and there was a neighborhood riot. 14 teachers quit during the school year and no sub wants to go there.Don't walk away...
