Solid education with flaws. Parent communication from teachers is lacking in the upper grades and college counseling is not super supportive or helpful as advertised. Considering the amount of tuition paid by families, the school leaves you with a feeling that you overpaid for a “meh” school.
Posted by a parent on 6/28/2021McD is an overall exceptional school which seeks to build leaders in the community. The pressure is age appropriate and the experience should allow students to thrive in their future.
Posted by a parent on 4/26/2018Over all for my 3 children it has been an amazing school. Our experience is in the upper school only. I have 2 children that are academically oriented and enjoyed the athletic programs. My other child was more challenged with the courses but ALWAYS found her teacher interested in helping her. They a
Posted by a parent on 4/12/2018My son endured terrible bullying at McDonogh during the years he attended the school. The administration never did anything to improve things and provided the perfect environment for a child to be picked on. After I complained the bullying just got worse. With its high price tag we expected better s
Posted by a parent on 2/1/2018McDonogh is a wonderful school with a very strong sense of community. The curriculum is very challenging, especially in the Upper School, but the teachers really want their students to succeed. It is truly an environment of learning and excellence.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagelike i have to agree with this one comment about it being like good before 4th and 5th grade fr...... cuz like 4th grade was kinda bad but 5th was a JOURNEY. first, my homeroom teacher (which i won't say the name of so she can keep her job) was very, very rude to students. she would be yelling at this one guy and insulting him fr.. next, the kids there are coming after the special education kids and making jokes about them.. oh yeah and the school is hella getto.. someone's weave got pulled out for goodness sake! like every kid there going to 4th grade for 2024 - 2025 is probably going to be looking for fights like last year' s 5th graders.. so unless you want your kid to come out as getto and terrible as them no matter how good of a kid they are, DO. NOT. COME.Other Review1y ago - New Town Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCons: Tons of behavioral problems with students, fights in the cafeteria every day, tons of bullying, and too many inexperienced teachers with no control of classrooms. Consider a private school: Arlington Baptist or Sacred Heart. Do your child and family a favor. Do not enroll your children at New Town ES.Parent Review2y ago - Union Bethel Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGFS is my daughter’s second family. She has been a student there for over 10 years and continues to thrive academically, socially and athletically. Her options are endless and she always has support. We appreciate GFS for setting her on a path with a bright future.Parent Review2mo ago - Park School of Baltimore

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child was not safe at this school. The Administration is horrible and says they care but actions say otherwise. Turnover is ridiculous where students really suffer. Teachers don't answer emails even when taking the proper channels. They promote diversity but look at the school stats- it's not. They promote inclusion but they don't embrace diversity. They promote curiosity but only if you adhere to their way of thinking. They promote kindness but there is terrible bullying. They promote a safe environment supporting mental health but cause more anxiety than any child should endure. Point blank, this school ruined my child. Rules are not imposed equitably. The school is a mess with the current leadership and the school rests on their previous reputation. It's time for changes. Or, better yet just don't attend here.Parent Review1y ago
