Disgusting management, no freedom of speech, illegal searching, racism, and much more.
Posted by a community member on 2/20/2026The school is a brick with a starship ride on top of it. Everyone here are immature drug addicts or are jerks with attitude. Whatever they are serving kids is gross, the teachers only give notes or sit around doing nothing. I have two good teachers with only one being exceptionally good. The buildin
Posted by a student on 10/15/2025The food is bad, I would get threatened by classmates often, people bring knifes and weapons to school. The teachers don't help much with these problems, lots of bullying and harassment. One time someone brought a knife to a lunch room and tried to stab a classmate, lots of physical violence and fig
Posted by a student on 3/5/2024I have three children, one is graduating from TJ this month, another next year, and my youngest will be a freshman next year. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with TJ. I was very nervous given some of the low ratings but I have been so impressed by the staff and administration. I
Posted by a parent on 5/2/2023This school is amazing. The staff really care about the students success. I went on to get a PhD in aerospace engineering and within my peer group we had numerous JD’s, PhD’s and MD. This school set students up for success.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent of a current student that goes here, please do not send your kids here. The principal is so rude and doesn't listen to the kids, often telling them to shut up. It is so disrespectful and unfair to the children at this school. Children get suspended for false accusations all the time and the teaching is mediocre at best. The only good teacher for my student was the science teacher, who actually cares about the students learning and about the student. I feel that my child is unprepared for high school because of the bad quality teaching.Parent Review1mo ago - Monocacy Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve been incredibly impressed with this school since moving to the neighborhood. The staff is attentive, communicative, and truly invested in each child's growth. The principal sets a strong tone for academic excellence while still creating a warm, welcoming environment. The teachers go above and beyond, and the small class sizes mean students get real attention.What stands out most is the sense of community — it’s the kind of school where parents know each other, teachers know the kids by name (even outside their grade), and the PTA is very active. There’s also a strong emphasis on reading, STEM, and character-building — not to mention the school grounds are always clean and well-maintained.We've seen noticeable improvement in the school's overall performance year after year. It’s definitely one of the top reasons young families are moving into the area.Parent Review9mo ago - St. John Regional Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter spent her middle school years at Vis. She is excelling in public high school, is in the magnet program, and is taking an AP class her freshman year. She received straight A's on her report card throughout her freshman year. I feel is was the small class sizes and same teachers (for the most part) that gave her the confidence to succeed in high school. I am happy with my decision to send her there and have other daughters at the school.Other Review9y ago - The Banner School
