Germantown Elementary School

Posted December 11, 2009

My daughter is in her first year at Germantown and we have loved the experience. Her response on her first day of school captures our/her experience. Sarah walked out and, when asked her day went, she said: Great. I love school. That feeling hasn t diminished! The strengths of the school in our experience has been Sarah s teacher (I d put her against any kindergarten teacher in the nation), the great community of parents who wait outside for their kids each day, a responsive Principal and a warm energy. No school is perfect. I wish that there was better and timelier communication with parents and there was a better system for volunteers. However, these are small improvements that the Principal, the teachers and parents continue to work on. In the end, we are thrilled with our daughter's love of learning and love of her school!

I absolutely recommend Germantown. My daughter just finish kindergarden there and she received a lot of attention from the teachers and had a great time. Her classmates were very sweet and they all took care of each other. Her K's teacher was excellent, they have a wonderful K staff. The principal is very involved and he knows the kids names. The school's staff knows every kid and they are always aware of them and know where they are, you feel that you kid is well taken care of. The school is quiet and the children are well behaved. They do a lot of fun activities like international night, dominoes with dad, etc. Every parent in Annapolis should come and visit this school, before going for private. The school has excellent resources in its teachers, staff and programs. The new building will be built thanks to the efforts of the community.

Germantown is an excellent school that has made the best of its resources. It qualifies as a Title I school, but it has a private education feel with small class sizes and added teaching assistants. The parents are fully engaged now, and the PTA is extremely profitable due to their unique and original fundraising efforts. This has not always been the case, but the communities of Admiral Heights, Germantown and Homewood are all involved with the issues on the local and county level to get the necessary funding to upgrade the structure. It is amazing what a few years, lobbying, and some elbow grease makes. I hope I don't blow the best kept secret in Annapolis, but this may now be the best elementary school in the City.

Germantown has incredible resources, excellent teachers and a community spirit that is unsurpassed. My children, 2 boys ages 6 & 9, continue to excel, be challanged and have a strong love of learning. We are thrilled to have our children go to our neighborhood school nurturing a strong ethic of community, our environment and our selves. We soar!
