Mount Royal Elementary/Middle School

I was the class of 2010 and i personally give the school more thumbs down than the amount of thumbs if each person in the world put their thumb down. This school was unorganized and dirty. only reason i give it 2 stars is because they had some good teachers. In my opinion those selected few of teacher could do way better than Mt.Royal.

the quality of this school has decreased over the last three years. i am disappointed at the steff especially the first grade teachers. they don't have any patience with the children. the behavior of some students are out of control. they are quick to suspend but don't provide the help the child really need.

even though i dont enjoy how the school does things, i have to admit its accually ok. the teachers are nice and the school is strict.

As a former student , class of 08 i give this school a tumbs down they dont put education first they worrry about behavior & other irrelevant things ! i would never reccomend this school , first & foremost the administrators are rude 7 mean , such as mrs.Glascoe , Mrs.Byers, Officer Coarse , etc . . yeah all of them .

This is a excellent School my child gets extra help, attention, and enjoy going to school. the school has very high standards . I really enjoy my daughter going here! The students do their work quietly and i really love the schools staff!

My child was a student at Mt. Royal for 1 year. She entered as an ingenuity student. I was extremely irritated by the attitude if the administrators. They were rude and downright cold. The learning environment could have been more effective if the teachers were more experienced and if the daily class disruptions could have been eliminated. I would suggest any potential parent to make a surprise visit to the school and you will see what I mean. Thank God for private schools!

My two children started Mt. Royal this school year 2009/2010. I am so far pleased with their learning experience. I like the school, but some of the rules is ridiculious. For example ( tights), why does it matter what kind of tights a child have on as long as they are neat and clean with their uniform. That's the only problem I have but other than that I like Mt Royal, and I wish my kids had been attended this school. Although they were doing great in other schools. I also like that they are strict in some other ways. These schools need rules, and these kids today!!!

The school's overall learning enviroment is good but I would have to agree with a earlier review that the adminstation can seem to have a don't care attitude about the students.

teachers are great most times but the administration can be hasty at times and come off as arrogant or they seem as though they don't care for child

The school environment is good but like all schools there is still room for improvement. Most of the other teaching staff is supportive of each other and the students learning but at the same time, those at the middle school level are dealing with classes that are too large. There are some parents that expect too much out of the teachers and with the large class sizes, the teachers have a hard time meeting those parents' expectations.

My daughter entered the Ingenuity Program at Mt. Royal in the fall of 2006. The academic program is strong. Both math and science are priorities. They have a great homework club after school for the kids. The standards for success are needed in every Baltimore City public school. Parents and students should demand this type of curriculum. The school has an uniform policy which is also a plus! There should be better supervision of the children before and after school. A number of the children are disruptive to the surrounding community and shed a negative light on the school through their unsafe behavior. I love the look of the campus.

Although my son attended this school for only one year (8th grade), he has greatly reaped the benefits from the experience. Language Arts and Literature were two courses he did not particularly care for. However, with creative, ingenious teachers, my son loves literature with a passion. I am not exaggerating. It is so refreshing to discuss mature, intelligent literature with him. I can see the excitement in him as he discusses certain books with me. His Language Arts Class helped him tremendously in his writing. Now, when he reads me a paper, I typically have no corrections or suggestions to make. In my opinion, they are college students that are unable to write as well. I'm trying to me objective (smiles). I would strongly recommend this school to any parent. Deborah Harris

I believe that the school probably does a fine job. My problem is after and before, which is not the teachers fault but that of the parents. The children walk home or to school unsupervised.

As a former student of Mt. Royal and a parent of two children who have attended or attend, I have seen many changes in how the schools' leadership effectively approaches education. I have been extremely pleased to see that some of the same teachers that taught me are stil teaching and having as much success reaching the students through techniques that capture a students attention and makes them want to learn and grow.
