Meade High School

The teachers are very dedicated to each child and are very dedicated.

We really enjoyed Jessup. Both my kids thrived here. The teachers they had were amazing and the school principal, assistant principal and administration were great. They had a few incidents in the area that resulted in lockdowns but the school every necessary precaution. None of these incidents were related to the school itself.

The current administration is abysmal. Teachers are unsupported and afraid to say anything for fear of reprisals. There is fighting daily in the lunch room which remains largely unsupervised. Bullying is a huge issue that goes largely unaddressed by the administration, affects numerous kids, and teachers are left unsupported to do the best they can. Safety plans have been drawn up with no intention of actually implementing or following them.The current principal (Moore — in case this hopefully changes in the future) is more concerned with attendance and receiving her federal dollars than she is about supporting her staff, or protecting and educating kids.The school board needs to take immediate action as this school is failing its students and teachers.

I have had a son go through all six years at Ridgeway, and my second son is currently in there. This school has hired highly qualified teachers who care about the students in their class and go the extra mile to make sure all students feel included. Mrs. Alvear is the best principal ever and the school has great communication. The PTA raises enough money at their booster thon to make most school events, including dances, free for students. Both of my children have taken part in clubs that have been offered at Ridgeway. We’ve been very happy with our experiences at Ridgeway!

This school has been a nightmare for my kids , the principal does not care about these kids , the teachers also dont care , this school praise about NO BULLYING , but when bullying happens they do nothing , ive seen my child get bullied and the teacher did nothing , i also complained to the school about a teacher touching my kids , the principal did not speak to me or my husband about the situation, i took it to the police made a report but of course they didn’t do anything , so i will definitely will not be bringing my kids back to this trash school ,ive seen way too many things happening at this school , these teachers just come for a paycheck thats it .0/10 for this school !!!

This was my former school, where I was bullied, got my stuff stolen and broken by others, and I got a referral for teasing, when others didn't get one for fighting. I don't recommend this school.

My son attended Seven Oaks and we were very happy with the school. We went to several school events and enjoyed the Science Fair a great deal. They also did a great job with his speech therapy. My one critique is that arrival and dismissal can be a challenge, but that has a lot to do with a small parking lot. The school has really come along since we have lived here.
