3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been at Greencastle since kindergarten and she’s now in 3rd grade. The school has definitely improved since she’s been there. Mrs.Dean and Mrs.Hernandez are a strong admin team! & the teachers are truly wonderful and what make the school great. My daughter has always had remarkable, caring teachers and also worked with a strong resource team who are extremely dedicated. My daughter also enjoys the friendships she’s made.Parent Review2mo ago - Burnt Mills Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI met only one Teacher she was nice, but overall the school was very disorganized and the school staff lack information. My daughter dislike Burnt Mills ES. There are data where the bus forgets to pick up the students and the school dont even warn the parents. Busses are extra packed. We are so happy we moved out of Silver Spring, MD and found a better school where my daughter actually loves to go to learn.Parent Review11mo ago - Beltsville Academy

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSo far, my experience in this school is fantastic. I feel very safe, and almost nobody bullies another person. And if they do, they always get punished. The teachers are great, even if they are strict. Honestly, a lot of kids just don't like doing work here which is why is doing not so well, but for the most part, it is wonderful.Student Review2y ago - Calverton Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two kids going to Forcey and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The teachers we have interacted with were passionate about their job and excellent role models to their students. Our daughter was able to form friendships easily in the school's nurturing environment that often feels like one big happy family. Overall, the school has provided an excellent environment for our daughter's spiritual, physical, personal and intellectual growth.Parent Review6mo ago
