My kid went to this school, and this school was filled with violence and bad behavior. There are a lot of fights. The teachers also do not help with anything at all.

This school is not good. My daughter said that a teacher said a bad word. She also said that the school doesn’t teach you and there are a lot of fights. Find a better school!

The school year JUST started and some random kids already surrounded my daughter and NOTHING happened no discipline for the kids involved AT ALL. They are SUPER slow on contacting you about any situation. Mind you this is 7TH grade you'd think the kids would be a little less childish!!!

My son just started attending this school. He's in 6th grade and has never had an issue with anyone in this school. He's always gone to very high rated schools until we moved into this area. The teachers in this school have been there a long time and are just wonderful, especially Mrs. Adams. The Vice Principal, Mrs. DePasquale is very attentive to all of her students!

My child just starting going to this school. He’s in 6th grade. He has never seen any violence, fights in the hallways or sexual acts. I’m not sure where that is coming from. The teachers are amazing especially Mrs. Adams the gym teacher. She goes above & beyond to make sure every student is safe & feels comfortable. He is not about drama and gets excellent grades.

I do not like this school because there is constant violence, lewd activity and constant threats that goes on in this school. Fights are very prominent at this school and one of the teachers had put their hands on an child. The amount of dissatisfaction i feel for this school is ridiculous and staggering.

My son attended this school in 6th grade. Our experience was drastically painful. Significant BULLYING and UNsAfe environment . Visit your child and u will see a school and hallways full of violence and sexual behaviors that are shocking. If your child is in an IEP or has special needs- DO NOT ATTEND.

Ms Farmer is not an effect leader nor does she have the students best interest at heart. Find a better school!

Under the new leadership, PGMS is transforming the school environment into a much more positive one than in recent years. Overall, the staff is fantastic and care about the students.

We are happy with PGM. Many of the teachers are great. The administration is always present at functions. There are some issues with behavior, but that occurs at every school. We are happy with PGM.

This school was a horrible experience for my eighth grader. We recently moved from Lutherville and the kids bullying and harassment is out of control. I had to have my daughter transferred notifications were given to Principal and school administrators. Think long and hard before moving in this area because of the schools!

As a parent of a new 6th grader, the academic offers provided by Pinegrove middle school are it's only saving grace. Currently, the school is seeing a rise in violence and lewd activity, this fist fights occurring on a weekly basis and profane language being used throughout the school. With the unlimited access to electronics, student spend their day watching youtube during class, sending lewd picture and messaged to one another, and constantly using social media to ridicule fellow students. Looking for the opportunity to transfer my daughter to another school.
