Patuxent High School

While there are many good teachers at this school, there are quite a few that demean students. The Vice Principal disregards parents/students concerns to gain whatever little acceptance he can get from teachers. During our initial interaction, I felt as if I was speaking to a brick wall. It bothers me that there are frequent fights at this school, yet when I spoke to administration, I was told that fights rarely occur. I have recordings from both of my children that attend PHS. Academically, this school is great, but there needs to be significant improvement with bullying. To start things off, there needs to be someone involved who cares more about the students, rather than how many friendships will be affected.

In the case of being bullied many kids are helped but at the same time they disbelieve an equal amount of students.

My experience at patuxent was beyond bad. Through the bullying and the teachers constantly nit picking at me it caused many issues. They do not care for any of the students as long as they get paid it doesn't matter.

This school was fabulous. A really family feel that provided more than an education, but an upbringing in character and success.

Patuxent High School is a good school, but I several complaints. I know a few of the teachers and they are dedicated to their students, however, it bothers me that no matter how dedicated and caring the teacher is, too many students simply do not care what their grades are. One teacher in particular has an open door policy (during her lunch time), to have students come in if they need extra help. During the course of the whole school year, she has not had one student take advantage of this opportunity. Students are prodded into taking AP courses and then they don't want to do the work. Over half of this class is failing, despite the teachers calls and emails to the parents. The teachers are required to "engage the class" and make lessons entertaining! This is rubbish - stop blaming the teachers and start putting responsibility on the students. Parents, inform your darling child to be prepared to spend a lot of time studying if you want them to take AP classes. This is not kindergarten anymore. Pay attention to their grades, which are so conveniently placed online, instead of blaming the teachers for doing a poor job. Despite all teachers efforts, still no raise.

I disliked this school. While most of the teachers were fine, if not a bit unconventional, they were fine as far as teaching was expected. I had more of an issue with the student population. Much (although not all) is involved in drugs or alcohol. Many of the students I met did not seem remotely interested in their academics. While this certainly does not stand for the entire student population (as many were fantastic students interested in their education) it was a great deal. I was unimpressed with how the teachers and administration handled the students' lack of motivation. I was not impressed and am glad to be transferring to a private school.

Mrs. Crosby is awsome! She doesn't take crap from other students who are lazy and disrespectful. She is fair and a lot of fun. She helps the students with projects and we love her!
