All for one
A number of the local events in Sandtown revolve around the community working together to help one another. Local churches and organizations play an active role observing annual milestones with a helping hand. At the start of the school year, they gather school supplies for kids. Likewise, around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the same organizations distribute food baskets and toys to those in need. For more conventional activities, the neighborhood is only 3 miles from the football stadium and baseball park and inner harbor, meaning fun activities are never far away.

Save a Lot, drive a little

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
