Quince Orchard High School

Quince Orchard is great. It has great teachers, the academic level is high, and it also has many clubs in which any student can join. This school has so many different things one can do for extraccuricular activities and they provide help for anyone who needs it. The electives here are really fun too. Plus this school shows great school spirit and helps even the shyest of students increase their social levels.

My son goes to Quince Orchard. I am very impressed with the teaching and administrative staff. All are first rate. Should you be looking for a great school for your children, public or private, this is it. Before QO, our son attended a private school for three years (at a cost of $20,000 per year) in Potomac, MD. What we have found is that there is very little difference between one of the best private schools in Potomac, MD and Quince Orchard. On the other hand, his social development at Quince Orchard from a real world perspective is head and shoulders beyond what he was able to attain at the private school. I believe this is primarily due to the cultural and social diversity he has experienced at Quince Orchard. As a plus, our son is much much happier at Quince Orchard than he was at private school.

I graduated in 1995 from Q.O. and loved it! It's a very caring school. The school is first of all, beautiful. The academic experience is second to none. You basically get a private school education free. The teachers do not cut you any slack either, no matter what. The students all strive for A's and are overall successful. Our sports teams were great, all of them. Our band was even amazing. This is definatly the best high school in Montgomery County or at least was when I went there. The students had little conflict between themselves and the staff was great. You will be lucky if you have Mr. Maslow for Government in 10th grade, he's the best!
