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.

Students are directly on the campus of Howard university which exposes them to black excellence and allow some them to see what the end goal is.

I loved the fact that my school was on the campus of one of the first HBCU'S, which is Howard University. I loved the sense of community at my school among the students and the teachers that were passionate about their jobs and teaching children. Something that I would change is administration. Every year I attended Howard University Middle School Of Mathematics and Science there was a different principal. i would also change the social studies curriculum to a more Afrocentric type of learning.

We understand that all schools have growing pains, e...
