I have a third grade daughter in the school and I have had my doubts and my upsets but this year my daughter has a wonderful teacher who is great with the kids. They seem to love her and I as well. Ms.Moore has really worked with my daughter and me to help her become a better reader. She is great! i was going to pull my daughter out after her second grade experience which was just like a zoo. Her teacher did nothing but yell and never taught anything. I hope my daughter gets teachers like Ms.Moore. I am very happy with this school year! i dont know how they found Ms. Moore, but I hope she stays at Bay Brook. The kids really need her!

Bay Brook is currently an K-8 school. It go to 7th grade this year and will go to 8th grade in 2008-2009. It is one of the best schools in Maryland. It has a wonderful principal and assistant princpal. The Bay brook staff is excellent and always seem excited about working with our children. They have an outstanding afterschool program. I just love the school and I am so glad that my granchild attends this school

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Maryland used the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and grades 5 and 8 in science. The MSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
