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.

Out of 10 I would give me experience there about a 7/10.there are both pros and cons of being at this school but me personally I like how well I was able to learn the things that I wanted to learn in order to prepare myself for my college life and adult life.they have many different programs and things at this school and it's not that hard for you to get into those programs.the counselors here are very helpful but the only thing that I would change is how the administration and staff treats the students .they dont treat all students the same they have favorites in the school and that effects on how they would treat you as a student

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
