Oakland Mills Middle School

We adore this school. I'm the parent of a bright kid just finishing 1st grade. His teachers have been very experienced and skilled at tailoring lessons to individual kids. It's a very diverse school, which we consider a huge positive. It's wild to me that GreatSchools gives it such a poor rating. If it had been 100% white, GreatSchools would have disregarded the equity score. It's punishing excellent diverse neighborhood schools like this one. I can see what they're trying to do with the equity score, but they must be able to see the dangerous effect it has on schools like this one, especially in the real estate apps. Anyway, that was the rant. We live Bryant Woods.

have two kids here at this school. teachers are very caring and supportive of their students. management and principal and overall the entire staff are just great. highly reccommended.

My son attends this school and has been for 3 years now. Not only is he bullied by his peers, after I reported the bullying the Principal dismissed it as bullying. Even though it's been ongoing for 3 whole years. They'll look into it, observe the behavior, investigate it, and do their best within their legal ability and then dismiss it. My son is still facing the bullies to this day. The wellness room AKA NURSE is a joke. The nurse isn't allowed to give the kids medicine for a headache or migraine. My son had a migraine, went to the wellness room (NURSE) and was sent back to class. They told him it's not that serious. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? MY SON WAS IN TEARS AND IN PAIN. I WAS NOT CALLED ONCE!! Don't get me started on the teachers that YELL and SCREAM at the kids.EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SCHOOL.

I have had two children who have gone through their fair share of challenges this year. Having Mrs. Katie Carter as the principal has been extremely amazing for our family and our community. She is the best principal I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and engaging with. She is responsive and takes action every time and makes our community a better place. Safety and professionalism is her priority and you can tell she cares for the students, her staff and parents. SFES kindergarten and 1st grade teachers are all also amazing and caring. Our children are fortunate to have had them this school year.
