My son has been going for the last 2 years. He is now in 1st grade (soon to be 2nd) and LOVES IT!!! The teachers stay in constant communication. (Huge S/O to Mrs. Church & Mrs. Ganey!) There is plenty of parent participation, The staff is friendly and secuirty to get into the shool is AWESOME!!! THEY Scan ID's!!! The curriculum is the best I've seen and when our family moves (husband in the military) this school will surely be missed!!

My daughter attends kindergarten here and it has been a wonderful experience. I have had the opportunity to work with her class on several occasions and each time the teacher was very warm and welcoming. We are moving before the school year is up and my daughter is sad because she loves her school. I highly recommend Seven Oaks Elementary and hope that our experience with our new school is just as good.

My daughter attended pre-k this year. the school is amazing!! Her teacher was great and really seemed interested in her and all of the other students. She let me know when my child succeeded and when she needed a little extra guidance. The security is very well maintained and I felt very safe leaving my child. They have separate play areas for big and little children. Lots of family involvement activities.

Easily one of the top rated schools in Anne Arundel County and possibly Maryland. My 6 year old attends kindergarten here and raves about the teachers. Children start getting additional attention right from KG, not something you'd expect at all schools. In addition, the school facilities are relatively new and the principal is motivated to reach out to parents at parent teacher conferences. Children are encouraged to learn through various programs and there is, thankfully, a schoolunifrom policy. Overall, I'd give it 5 stars.

The school leadership (administration) is holding back this school. They do not understand the community and student population

The school is wonderful! My child has attended Seven Oaks for 3 years and we absolutely love it! They have the best most caring and professional staff and in general the students and parents seem to really care about education.

The staff is awesome! It is one of the best schools we've ever been a part of. The teachers love what they do and it shows. They have a very competent and caring staff. I use them as a standard to measure other schools and this may not be fair to the other schools. All children seem to enjoy going to school there. Mine definitely does.

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.
