I entered city in 10th grade and was surprised by the community and the help they offer. City has a reading and writing center to help you which is amazing for someone who is not good at writing. They also have a science center which is amazing because the science that upper level students have to take is at a college level and so we need the help. The math center is the most helpful because mostly all the students struggle with math at Baltimore City College. The teachers that care about teaching are great but a lot the teachers don't really give a good effort into there teaching. Overall it's a good school but it does need help.
