Read what parents are saying about Long Reach High SchoolMany teachers wait until the last week of the quarter to grade anything. Literally nothing graded the entire quarter until the last minute. Nobody knows what their grade is. They’re charging kids to join clubs now (but not saying what that money is being used for) and are allowing football players with terrible grades into the honor society yet denying many with perfect or very good grades. Typical favoritism to sports kids. Takes a month to get in to meet with your counselor.Students have to pay for parking? Ridiculous. This is a 2 out of 5 star school. Maybe 2.5 tops.

Posted by a student on 6/21/2023My child attends LRHS and for the past 2 years has complained of the restrooms being a virtual drug den. For those few remaining young people not doing drugs in school, it makes it a hassle to try to do your non-drug related business, as nature comes calling. Then, to have to maneuver through this group, unscathed, just adds more worry and stress to a drug-free person's day. Is there no one keeping an eye on this problem? I'm realistic and understand teenagers as I'm a teacher myself, but come on. Where's the oversight? The accountability?
Posted by a parent on 2/24/2023My family's experience has been great. We have two kids at Long Reach and they are doing well. The teachers are great and very competent. It is a beautiful and clean school as well. Our experience with the administration and school counselors has been very positive. The principal really cares about his school. In my opinion all Howard County schools offer the same quality education. The only difference is the demographics and Long Reach is very diverse. This is a good thing for overall experience but maybe not for test scores. Overall, we love the school and feel that our kids are getting a quality education that will prepare them for college.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had a family that was struggling with her child to get Support from the teacher. They are careless about the disable child and we are really disappointed. So sad they only do this as a job (money) no because a professional or caring job. So sad :( God help us. Que lastima que los niños discapacitados no los atienden con amor ni compasión.Parent Review1y ago - Bellows Spring Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI feel this is one of the worst experiences with Howard County school system. My son went here from 4th to 5th grade and by 5th grade I couldn’t get away fast enough. There are palpable biases present when dealing with the receptionist to the Special Education Teacher for students of color as well as their parents.Parent Review11mo ago - Deep Run Elementary School
