Excellent school for my three boys! We moved here 2 years ago and they have loved it ever since! Great teachers, communication, and security provided by the Calvert county sheriffs who are always present and interacting. Highly recommended!

We are new to this school & so far opinions are mixed. We came from a school where PTA was a big part of every day life & here we have yet to know when any PTA general membership meetings are held. We like the school dances that have been held, but the Harvest Fest left a lot to be desired. We don't even really know what the PTA does & that is a big disappoint to us as I was on the PTA board for several years at our old school out of state. Our child's teacher seems to do a good job & wants the kids to learn & gives them opportunities to prove they know the curriculum. She is young, but sometimes that is a positive with more energy & a fresh way to look at things. We are concerned that maybe this school isn't "strong" enough, but we also came from an IB World school (public magnet), where academics were pushed, sometimes a bit too much for elementary level. We miss having a Spanish language class, but having Band is a nice trade for now. Overall I would say: academically it is much softer than what we are used to and the PTA really needs to step it up for next year.
