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.

Germantown has been a very inclusive community and very open to all. my favorite thing was the music program and there really wasn't a worst part of anything. I would like to see some new science equipment for the science department, otherwise its all good.

The best part of my experience was the music program, they are super friendly and upbeat. The worst part of my experience would be the amount of physical altercations that happen here, while there aren't many it's just unpleasant. I would like to see students getting along better and for teachers to make better connections with the students.

Community is great. Small town atmosphere. However, the administration at the high school is very lacking. Both my kids have health issues and the pandemic just helped to make them worse, but the school administration didn't care. It even went as far as changing teacher grades for the student becaus...
