The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Patuxent is a very energetic environment filled with people of many different backgrounds. I've met some of my closest friends there and I still talk to them 6 years later. The teachers are very passionate about what they do and Patuxent prepares you for high school by giving you rigorous and helpful work to stretch your academic skills.
