My son is in Perrywood, and we've had a great experience. He is TAG-identified, and the TAG enrichment program within the school seems to be doing a great job. The school needs to improve its social events, such as recitals and music performances, especially during special occasions.

There are some great students, parents and staff members at this school, but the bad apples certainly spoil the bunch. The fifth grade teachers are unkind, bully and harass students, and attempt to do the same with parents. I know of multiple parents who have raised concerns with administration, and nothing has been done. It could be a lack of training, archaic ideals of education, or a disregard for human decency. We are looking forward to leaving this school and Id be mindful of keeping your child here beyond fourth grade. The academics seem to be sound.

Our son attended Kindergarten 2020-2021 school year and has joined 1st Grade 2021-2022 school year. The Kindergarten teacher was phenomenal with the kids in virtual education. She worked tirelessly controlling the kids and giving them the needed attention throughout the school year. 5 stars for Kindergarten teacher Ms A.B. The start of 1st grade is showcasing another amazing teacher - we look forward to working with her to educate our young scholar. Calling the school before the beginning of the school year presented a wrinkle to the school. The office staff do not care, they hang up while the parent is still asking questions. The only answer you get is "check schoolmax" - I have already checked schoolmax and that information is not available, then the next answer is "well, check again." The attitude of the front office staff needs finetuning.

My childs teacher was very mean. She was often heard screaming at students dusting the live class sessions. This type of instructional practice really stunted my childs growth. They allow teachers to treat students like this and call it rigor, I completely disagree. This was our first year at this school and we wish very badly that our child could go back to their previous school.

My child and I had the worst experience at Perrywood. I can speak against all the teachers but specifically 2nd grade and the administration failed repeatedly to meet the core standards of the PG County school system.

I currently have a grandson attending Perrywood Elementary and I give this school nothing but praise. His brother is a recent graduate and didnot fare as well as we had hoped, but that was his doing. The principal, vice-principal, teaching staff, food service employees, as well as the maintenance staff, I made it my business to get acquainted. As a concerned parent or grandparent, it takes the ENTIRE village to make the needed difference.

My daughter's experience has been great at Perrywood because my husband and I have been involved. The PTA is AWESOME!!! It's no secret that there are great concerns with finding great educators. They are dealing with children/parents that challenge them emotionally. We understand that every teacher is not equipped to teach every child. Unfortunately it's this way. We stay involved and we let the teacher know that we have their back. We all love our children and want the best for them. I had an experience with one teacher in 3rd grade because she did not know how to deal with a child that was bullying my child. We got with the principal and teacher to make sure our child was able to attend school without being worried about the bully. Pick your battles. I love my daughter just like any parent love their child. All children should be loved. I love Perrywood. We reap what we sow. We so love, understanding and care. We get that back. I hope this will help someone not only at Perrywood but at any other public or private school. Peace
