It's a good school it's just way to many fights and customers words. And basically no emotional support. But most teachers are nice. Shout out to Ms Zirkle tho
Posted by a student on 1/14/2025Too many fights. Once a kid got kicked of the classroom threating to hit the teacher.
Posted by a student on 5/14/2024Good experience with my two kids. Teachers are very engaged with students learning process. My two are not English native speakers but they have improved their English skills in just one year. They have done a job during this virtual learning time.
Posted by a parent on 12/20/2020very good! The teachers are supportive and engaged.
Posted by a parent on 3/14/2019This school is a Maryland "focus school" with good reason. I expect more from schools. There should be more communication with parents with regard to grades and timely feedback for their children's performance and lesson plans so parents can assist their child when needed and do so effectively.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a former student of this school - I would absolutely not recommend this school to any parent looking for an "alternative method" to public schools unless your child is in the 5-10 age group. As soon as you are transferred to the middle school, teachers start to treat you differently. Students are out of control, the counselors have little to no care for any of you given your "bad reputation" and none of the electives teachers really care about you.I was bullied for a majority of my middle school years, and so was my little brother who, at the time, was in 5th grade. My little brother was getting everyday harassment, bullying (physically AND emotionally) and the principal told our family that if my little brother hadn't 'started a feud' in the first place, none of this would've happened. Not only is the school principal ridiculously self-righteous and rarely present, she made no effort in my brother's bullying. We had to file a restraining order after my brother was hit in the face with a ball and knocked unconscious. There was one kid who had threatened to school up the entire school - sent pictures of a weapon, shared it with classmates, scared everyone half to death. They made him read a note *apologizing* to us a week later. He faced absolutely ZERO reprimands for what he had done. There are very few teachers in the middle school who are outstanding, and treated me better than anyone had in that school, one in specific, but that is absolutely not enough for teenagers. Do not send your kids here. And if you are, keep them OUT of the middle school.Other Review1mo ago - Tuscarora Elementary School
