GreatSchools Rating
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.

My overall experience has been wonderful. I am a Alumni of Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women, I have been at BLSYW since the 6 grade. I've gained so many wonderful relationships with the staff, faculty and students. BLSYW is a family oriented school and very big on building women's success and sisterhood.

They do all they can to keep you on track from the day you walk through the door in 6th grade and even after you walk across the stage in 12th. They are always so invested in making sure their students become the best version of themselves. I wouldn't have it any other way! They're the best!!

My 10th grade daughter has been at BLS since 6th grade. BLS offers a safe environment where she has thrived academically. With her recent SAT score, she would be eligible to apply for over 800 universities...imagine what she'll be able to do in the next 2yrs...Proud BLSYW Mom
