GreatSchools Rating
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.

Its lowk goated icl bcs everyone here that actually cares about school is like hella smart like these ppl get on average like a 265 on map math and the magnet teachers (from what i've heard) are very passionate about what they do. Most of the students are ok but a lot of the boys are aggresive and loud they pmo so badly bruh. Also we win almost all our sports games because we're just like that and the orchestras and bands are very good and everyone who's there are actually interested in the instrument they play also rip Ms pasquale we WILL miss youuuu.

The school is amazingly diverse, and accepting. All of the teachers are really kind and open. There is even a magnet program that provides advanced math, science, and computer science classes.

During my 8th grade here, I was sexually harassed by other students for months. When I informed the staff, they gaslit me and refused to properly punish those who harassed me. I hope nobody else EVER goes through what I went through going here.

My child has had some caring teachers at this school that have gone the extra mile for them, and to those people I am grateful. However, the education is not an 8/10. We moved here for the schools. We were happy with the elementary schools. Maybe 1 underwhelming teacher out of 8. Solid administratio...

I was searching for a good school for my son who is mixed. I looked at Howard County but the good schools are not diverse. So I found this school which my kid is very happy and learning a lot with the great staff. I also like how each floor is separated by grade level.
