Old Mill Middle South

Note - It seems the southern and western part of the Old Mill cluster who attend South Shore Elementary and Millersville Elementary will not be going to Old Mill Middle South (OMMS) starting in 2024 and instead will go to the Old Mill Middle North (OMMN) facility due to redistricting and construction of a new OMMS at Southgate/Old Mill Park near Glen Burnie. It appears students assigned to OMMN will then be moved to the CAT North location in the coming years but as of 2023, it is unknown if there will be a new building constructed or if the CAT North facility will instead be refurbished. See the AACPS website for updated information on redistricting and construction. Also note (as of 2023) the OMMN is the northern AACPS location for the International Baccalaureate (IB) magnet program, but this is a school-wide curriculum. OMMS has the STEM magnet program and only students who get into that magnet program may benefit from it, although some teachers indicated they try to spread some of the lessons to the whole school. It is a pure lottery to get into any of the magnet programs in AACPS, and not based on high ability or performance of applicants.My child attended OMMS a couple years ago and did not have the best experience there. We found that although there were some great teachers, the quality of teachers was inconsistent. There were a lot of unruly kids and the management style of the teachers reflected this. We found the teacher in charge of the National Honors Society to be unprofessional. My child did enjoy the music program. It helps for parents to get involved.

this is a very good school and i love it the teachers are asowme

This school has been a great place for my kids to go and learn, and the staff has been fantastic through the years. I have three kids, 1 of which has already graduated and two of which are currently enrolled. All 3 of them have loved this school and the friends they have made here. Last year's remote schooling was rough as a parent, as I am sure it was for most of the other moms and dad's out there, but Old Mill was fantastic at making sure my children were still getting a great education. The teachers have all been willing to accommodate my kids on an individual level (like in needing extra help outside of class, and another needing accommodations for her IEP) and I can not be happier with how well i have seen them grow and devolve here at South Mill.A great school with great staff, this is hands down one of the best middle schools in the area.

I have so many memories in this school since sixth grade. My counselor who I had for 3 years in middle school is very kind and respectful. My counselor always helping me resolve my problems and help me get through a bad day. She always helping me to maintain my grades and always say hello evey morning with a smile which always made my day when I came to school. The teachers are very helpful, kind and respectful. My teachers are always their fore if I ever needed help. The administrators are very helpful, kind, and respectful.

The worst school district we have ever been stationed in. I have NEVER met a more uncaring group of teachers/staff. The violence in this school is also out of control. We pulled our kids to start homeschooling today. Enough is enough.
