Posted July 14, 2011

I am taking my child out of this school for the fall of 2011/2012 and should have taken him out along time ago. I have a smart child but there are to many bullies and very bad behavior here. The bad behavior here is to distracting and keeping my child from reaching his full potenial academically. The staff can"t handle the children so how can others learn? The children runs this school. So parents do not even consider sending your child here. If it wasn't for the bulling and lack of concern from the staff it might be a better school, and I say all of this to warn parents what they would be facing if they consider enrolling their child here.

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.
