Booker t.Washington is a great school.I went there for 6th,7th,and 8th grade and i now attend baltimore city college high school.I think all the teachers are very caring and they make sure learn.My years attendind booker t washington was the best and i would trade anything to go back.Also there police out there making sure no one is hurt.And if your child is in a class with bad kids you should know your child will be okay because they should lead not be followers.That is what they teach you to be.It is a very good art school.

I am a 8th grader student. My opinion is that Booker T is the worst school that I have ever been to. The halls stay crowded, the students make the teachers want to quit. The windows are dirty the building looks terrible and in the inside it looks like an abandon house, some of the windows are broken and some of them can not even open. Also I would like to be able to learn well. It's not challenging at all you can not learn with a lot of confusion going on in the class/school and beleive it or not thats a fact see for yourself that is all I had to say

Booker T Washington is a great middle school for students.As a matter a fact any body that sends their child there has a lots of advantages such as a bus that runs on a dependaple routes also they have a great way of sending you updates about your childs acidemic behavoir. The oncore subjects are great for the childrens wondering minds they keep fun activties for the kids Finnaly the parent involment there is spectacular.

Booker T. Washington Middle School is not a good school. I sent my child up to the school for her sixth grade year. Next year for seventh grade, she will be sitting in a private school. First of all, Booker T's teachers are not dedicated. The students run the school, and the teachers have no say. The principal doesn't seem to care about the quality of the student body. The eighth grade students also find it funny to come down to the sixth graders and attempt to fight them. The children are rude and disrespectful, and the teachers have nasty and disgusting attitudes. Rumors have always gone around talking about how terrible Booker T actually was--and now I saw for myself.

Many of the students are distrupting the classroom teaching. This type of behavior interfers with those students who want to learn. When the students that are interested in learning ask a questions. The teacher refuse to address their questions. This causes the student to do poorly in their class work.
