Like other commenters have said, school staff decide which kids are the "bad" kids and treat them accordingly. They yell at these kids and punish them excessively and disproportionately. Unsurprisingly, this tends to be black boys and children with disabilities, including ADHD. I have seen school st
Posted by a parent on 6/10/2026My son who has a 504 has really benefited from attending poes. Teachers are great and the school has an open, accepting community.
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2025If your child has ADHD or needs any form of assistance with an IEP or a 504 plan, find another school district. Piney Orchard labels children, if your child is culturally diverse or a race other than white they do not treat them equally. They blame the child for “bad behavior” rather than trying to

Posted by a parent on 5/10/2023School is overcrowded due to new communities being built but that is not the school administration or staffs fault. They are amazing with my child.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth our sons attended Four Seasons and our family is greatful for the caring staff. Teachers are committed to helping the students win and follow up with supportive reinforcement to make it happen. We especially appreciate the concern for children as people and not just academic status. We moved to the area in 2014 and truly received the benefits of being in a great neighbor and great school.Parent Review3y ago - Odenton Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had a great experience with this school! Safety is a great priority from getting students safely into school to the entry of non-staff is by far top notch. The teachers that have taught my kids have been very supportive, responsive, encouraging and go above and beyond. The kids love all their teachers and are excited to learn. I have two children on an IEP and the Special Education Department went out of their way during Covid-19 to ensure my kids were not losing the needed resources. Our principal knows most of the students, if not all by name. She is always a professional and does not hesitate to do the things that she requires of her staff. Having 4 children in elementary, I have communication with the health room more often than most and they have taken wonderful care of my kids.Parent Review2y ago - Waugh Chapel Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe really love this school. We have all 4 of our children in this school and they are having a really great time with their teachers. The building is brand new (two years old now), and the staff really cars about the students. The school is well engaged with the community and parents, offering multiple concerts, field trips, and activities per year.Parent Review2mo ago
