Community Reviews
Speaking from personal experience, this school is not a good fit for any student. We get served the same thing about every three days, we do assignments that don’t help us learn anything, the students there are rude and bullies, they also discriminate sometimes, and the teachers are entitled, stuck
Posted by a student on 6/11/2024The students at this school are horrible. Probably racist and homophobic too. Some of the teachers there don’t even care. They also have no respect for the students.
Posted by a student on 3/22/2024This school has a toxic, fighting/bullying problem. This is not a safe environment to send your child to, especially being a girl. Switched schools and the difference was major, socially and academically my child has thrived in her new school. I’m glad I got my child out of there.
Posted by a parent on 5/16/2023This school is by far one of the worst places my children have attended. We move a lot and have had our 4 kids in many types of schools but the staff and administration here are toxic and care only about burying issues then solving them. If your child has a disability it’s even worse, they retaliate
Posted by a parent on 2/12/2023It's good but the kids there are crazy, like who punches security?

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are amazing here. My child is excited to go to school in the morning. The school is very supportive when it comes to learning disabilities. I can reach out to them and they are very responsive and will talk to about concerns I have. This school is great!Parent Review1y ago - Watkins Mill Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school from Kindergarten to 2nd, And I would have to say my experience was not great. I would often hear kids doing disrespectful things to teacher and not being disciplined, I would also get bullied and ignored myself. the teachers here were biased to some students who were more white or light skinned, it made a lot of us feel left out. The school did events where you could participate in. I'm glad that I moved away from that school and no longer a student.Other Review2y ago - Whetstone Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two children at Whetstone Elementary and have been impressed with services and level of attention provided to both of my children. The teachers are very much engaged and maintain register contact with my husband and I. One of my children is special-needs and requires special education, we have experienced nothing but outstanding support from from everyone that we have come in contact with.Parent Review3y ago - Flower Hill Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has attended Strawberry Knoll from Kindergarten and is now graduating from 5th grade. All of the teachers my son has had have been wonderful and they care. Before the Pandemic and throughout they have always gone above and beyond. The school is diverse, the Principal Mr. Scott is great and gets to know the students individually. They have a lot of events and activities to include the family. I am very happy with the education my son received at Strawberry Knoll. If your child is shy or has challenges, they will find the "Knoll" to be a safe inclusive environment. I can't say enough about Strawberry Knoll.Parent Review3y ago - St Martin Of Tours School
