Catonsville is a very large and inclusive school. Your experience is heavily dependent on your learning level as I have been very disconnected from students not taking honors, GT, or AP classes. Otherwise great school

This is my 4th year at CHS and it has been an overall amazing experience. It is very easy to get involved and find something that fits your niche. It has continuously given me oppourtunities to prepare myself for the future both academically and socially. I really enjoy my time at the school and the staff are a very good group of individuals that are able to help solve most issues presented. The school is also very good at keeping the students aware and communicate openly with all students.

I would not recommend this school, they fail to spread diversity among other races other than white.
