Sandtown-Winchester Achievement Academy

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!

Students 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.

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.

the school Is really a nice school the students and teachers support each other in hard times I really liked it.

This school is one of the worst schools I been inside of these kids have no respect at all everybody at the school don’t take anything serious . I just feel like it should be shut down
