I'm going into 7th grade at PMS. Right now, I'm so excited to come back to school for the first time! Every teacher taught in such unique and fun way. There are some flaws, but overall, PMS is a fantastic school!

The teachers and administration here are very good. In general, they try their best to teach the kids and want them to succeed. However, the school is being pulled down by the kids who don't care and show no respect to the teachers and school property, and some of the parents who don't care. Even some of the GT students become disrespectful over time and make it harder for the ones who care to learn, and frustrate the teachers. That is the problem.

I like the school. They make it extremely fun but really educational they pop in jokes about the topic we are learning that really keeps us laughing and learning in the same time. The best teacher is Mrs.Nathanson because she really strict and she explains the steos on how to do the math problems very well and she is always willing to help others.

I found PMS is better than what I was told. My only complaint is: some teachers that don't correct exercises on the board so those students that didn't get it are bound to continue not getting it. The whole exercise of coming here is to applaud and give credit to Ms. Hodgkinson who I find to be a great, inspirational music teacher. Her dedication is such I don't dare to miss any of her concerts. The mixing of extra coaching and lunch is not a good idea. The children need their food and their break. The food in the cafeteria is not vegetarian friendly. The extracurricular activity program for gymnastics is disappointing. In general, I am happy with the school, the teachers, the nurse, the Principal-thank you for your calls-and everybody else in the Administrative Office. Let's get that keyboard badly needed for the Music Room and a mic.

The G&T classes at Pikeville are excellent and are taught by the most understanding and intelligent teachers in the school. Mia Talarigo is an exceptional principal and encourages students to participate in the many after-school activities that the students can choose from. One activity that has always impressed me is the school play. Mr.Permenter has always been a fabulous director who has a wonderful musical and instructional background. This year he is assisted by a new director whose teaching methods I am unimpressed with. I hope this year's school play will be just as good as last year's. I was stunned by the talent and hope that Pikesville Middle will continue its outstanding work in its artistic departments, including art, chorus, orchestra, and band, as well as in its academic programs.

The GT classes are excellent. A very thorough and rigorous curriculum. Very caring and concerned teachers. A very strong principal.
