I just graduated from this school. Everything was pretty good until this past year. Many new, and unimportant and pointless, were enforced. For example, it became much harder to get on the computers in the library. The eighth grade was yelled at more than often for "not following kindergarten rules", Well... we aren't in kindergarten. Also, money was spent on getting PROMETHEAN BOARDS IN EVERY CLASSROOM. Now, our school has almost no money. They could have saved it until they really needed the money, but no, we had to get the HEALTH TEACHERS Promethean boards. Of course.

I find this school very entertaining and educational. I love how the students change over time and not just physically. I love how the students can have relationships with the teachers on a school Basis.

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.
