Pleasant Plains Elementary School

My son has had horrible experiences with bullying at this school and the principal and teachers act as if they know nothing and will do nothing. I was told by the assistant principal to tell my son to stay away from the boy. Completely insensitive, completely rude, completely unsafe!

Our family moved to Harford county from out of state where my daughter did her first two years of elementary school at another Montessori program. Transitioning to Bridges was a BREEZE for her! It was so nice for her to be able to jump right into materials, academics, and social structures that were familiar to her when her whole life had been flipped upside with the move. Testing doesn't tell the whole story, but I watched my daughter's MAP testing scores skyrocket, specifically with Math. She was already a very advanced reader, but the upper elementary guide apparently unlocked math for her as well! She's now performing (on a test for whatever that's worth) well above grade average. Her two younger siblings are also at bridges and thriving in the lower elementary program and the transitional program. It's so nice that all three kids can land at the same location without any daycare, school, daycare/after school babysitters shuffle.

Some teachers really care, others are nasty and rude. This school hires teachers who are not practicing the Catholic faith. They are not approachable or welcoming to parents that want to be involved in their children's education.

Worst principal I’ve had to deal with. They are incapable of following their own IEP that they create with only some input from the parent. No communication and they don’t pay attention to the kids.
