Pine Grove Middle School

I have watched my grandson from the 6th grade become not only a strong person,but a student everyone would be proud of with the help and leadership of outstanding teachers and a challenging academic programs and look forward to the 8th grade THE MATH TEACHERS ARE MY FAR THE BEST I GRANDSON AND MYSELF THANK YOU AND HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER

Very disappointed with Teachers and Faculty staff. No compasion for children with learning disabilities. The teachers and staff push the blame on parents or students when they are struggling in class. Progress Reports are used as a way to avoid 1:1 teacher/parent concerns. I don't understand why a teacher would wait until a child in failing to raise concern.

We are so glad we sent our daughter to PGMS. In 5 grade, we looked at public/private schools and we know w/o doubt, she has received a superior education at PGMS compared to her private school friends. The fabulous faculty and staff are not just dedicated but the best and brightest in Balto. Cnty. They love teaching and it shows. Our daughter went into 6th grade not prepared for the middle school curriculum, but by the second semester she applied herself and, with the support of her teachers, became a success. Now, in 8th grade she is a confident young person, has strong study skills and excels academically. She has never experienced any kind of middle school bullying because the THAT is not tolerated. We have no doubt our daughter will be successful and happy in high school. Thank you PGMS we'll see you in 2 years for our next kid!

Our school has won many awards. Our teachers are very supportive and open to share ideas. Our students are top notch. It seems our honor roll list grows longer every year. Our principal's door is always open for any discussions. Pine Grove is the best. My son and daughter went here. I volunteered here for six years while I was getting my degree. I have been teaching here for 16 years! I would not want it any other way!

I've worked there for 7 years, its been my first job and made me fall in love with teaching. Teaching and coaching kids has been a pleasure there.

Our daughter just transferred to PGMS, starting the 7th grade this year, and so far our experience and more importantly her experience has been a very positive one. All the teachers did an outstanding job at back to school night. We are quite pleased with our decision to transfer here.

This school was pretty okay. The building is horrible and has no windows, thus imitating a jail, but it wasn't absolutely horrible. Teachers were a bit useless at times but a select few were great. Its a very bland school. Wouldn't recommend it, but i can't hate it either.

I jst graduated from this school this 2003-2004 school year. I really enjoyed it so much. I made lots of friends and the teachers were really nice. I would have to say 8th grade was the best. We had a lock-in which was really awesome. Also, their are lots of things to do like SCAT night and field trips. I really liked how you could be yourself and students would take you for who you are. I would like to thank all my teachers who helped me get through these 3 years. I will miss this school very much! Mrs. Martz (maiden name) I miss you, you were my favorite science teacher ever. Wish me luck in the future! Thanks again for everything.

Pine Grove is a great school, however, when children are failing they do not offer parents programs to enroll students so that they can achieve. Teachers do call home to alert parents, but the follow through is lacking.
