I like the school academically I feel like it's one of the best in the county. I think we could improve on the school spirit I don't feel like a lot of students really feel invested in Pikesville.

Pikesville High School is an experience. You never know what to expect when you go. It can be anything from an easy school day to a rollercoaster. I have learned a lot from my AP classes and teachers as they do a great job teaching the curriculum. The college readiness they provide has aided me through my entire application process and I am forever grateful for that.

I expected this school to be much better that it is. We, as tax payers supported a $50 million dollar renovation but it was simply putting paint on old problems. I am so disgusted with some of the staff at Pikesville high. Its not all of the staff but some are subpar and bullylike
