Chesapeake Math and IT North Academy is a good school overall. It has it good and bad sides like everything else. A downside is that it kinda expensive. Most students need to be dropped and picked up by their parents, uniform must be brought with school logo, clubs need a one time donation. Also, they aren't as many teachers on hand, having some classes taught by substitutes. However, it does make student take a college readiness class as an elective to help them walk to the process of college applications. It also has quite a bit of clubs and some sports which help students build their resume. They also offer tutoring after school for those who are struggling. It has mostly black students, but there still is plenty of diversity. The staff is super mixed too. I don't think I want any major changes.

I love the emphasis on Science, math, and technology at the school. There is a small amount of bullying and some of the teachers don't actually teach. But overall, it's a pretty good school compared to many schools in Prince George's County.

It makes it hard for students to really understand the material, and some of us end up underperforming even if we try. I think it would help if teachers spent more ti...

honestly, this school is a mess.The environment is very toxic, and none of the teachers seem to be good at their jobs they can’t teach properly. Most of what you get is just paperwork, not real education. They barely explain things fully, and many teachers don’t act professionally.The substitutes es...

This school sucks. I wish I went to an actual public school school can barely fund itself. They need to shut down the school also there’s no bus transportation. How was my child supposed to get to school? I have to pay $400 for a van every month just because the school can’t afford a bus that’s emba...

This is not a good choice for your son/daughter. Tecahers feel like they do not want to do their job. Your child will thank you when you didn't take her/him to that school.
