This school is horrible they neglect the kids and if your kid is struggling bad they still just pass them to the next grade. Teachers have favoritism with the kids. The kid’s behaviors are out of control, and the principal don’t have a lot of communication with the kids and teachers.

The school Director and Jr. high Principal are horrendous. The police were called on a current student and the Director tried to press trespassing charges. Numerous, phenomenal teachers are leaving the school.

LHS offers something for all kids. My son loves the work he gets to do at the land lab.

My sister has been attending the Woods Academy for nearly a full school year, and unfortunately, our experience has been deeply disappointing. As a child born during the COVID-19 pandemic, she struggles with anxiety in unfamiliar environments and around strangers. This has significantly affected her well-being at school—she refuses to eat snacks or lunch while there. Despite numerous emails to the administration explaining her situation, the only responses we've received are variations of "it's school policy" or vague promises like "we will do our best to support her." Yet no meaningful support has been provided. She continues to sit alone during the day, often isolated in a corner with only occasional interaction from peers. This is not acceptable. A school should be a place where children feel safe, supported, and cared for—especially those who are struggling. Simply telling families to manage everything at home is not enough when the child spends so much of their time in school. The Woods Academy has failed to show the compassion and flexibility that should be expected of any institution responsible for a young child’s development. Not saying that this school isn't for everyone, but it's certainly unequipped and unprepared to aid kids that need some extra attention or help. Please be careful, and make your own, thoroughly thought through decision.

I have had 2 children at this school. Family engagement is extremely high--all activities are well planned and well attended. This school has a lot of continuity--teachers stay a long time and get to know families and students, many people in the area attended the school, sent their kids to the school, and generally support the school. The specials classes (art, music, gym, library) are good and the extracurricular activities are also good. Just a tight-knight, well-run school that is one of the smaller elementary schools in Harford County. My children will go to private school for middle school and high school but we never once thought about sending them to private school for elementary because this school was so good.

The staff at Arrowhead Elementary have been absolutely incredible. It has been such a welcoming, warm, and adaptive environment for our little guy. From the principal to the teaching aides to the PTA I can't begin to tell you how pleased we have been with this school.

This school is very welcoming and in a safe community. Mrs. Cassano always goes out of her way to make sure every student is cared for. All the teachers that my daughter has had have been amazing. Highly recommend!

Helped greatly through the Orting school system

I found this community to be welcoming. I love the small town slow pace of it. Many of the kids have gone to college and graduated.

My experience as a student at New Hope Middle School have decent teachers and skills to explain for their students to be prepared for what is coming and what they need to know about the stuff in the test that they are going to be having.

My child is never exited about anything he is learning and little to no teachers are worried about how he is on a daily basis. Overall I feel as if this school does not really know what they are doing. Do better.

Our 4th Grader was assaulted and battered by another student at Sarah Smith Elementary leading to a diagnosed moderate concussion. Current administrators at the intermediate campus attempted to sweep it under the rug and deemed it a mutual fight. Unfortunately, we had to visit the doctor, have a meeting with the superintendent Mr. Douglas, contact the juvenile district attorney, visit downtown Atlanta, as well as submit an open records request. We have been so dissatisfied with the administration at Sarah Smith. We learned of other incidents involving other students. Parents have been coming forward. Unfortunately two weeks after the attack, our son was hit again at recess by another student. The bullying continued after the assault, and the administration only offered a (no contact order) after they learned about the concussion. The student who gave our son a concussion was put in proximity to our son two days after the attack. Sarah Smith administration is relaxed on bullying and physical violence. They will not suspend or expel a student for serious infractions. We have always been huge supporters of the school, but physical violence is occurring too often! there should be a NO tolerance policy for physical violence.

Wells Elementary School allows bullying. There is no consequences for actions there. The principal and vice principal encourage students who are being bullied to find their own way to work through it including confrontation. Education in the classrooms I'd dismal because of student misbehavior which is also just tolerated. There is no help from principal and vice principal. School board and Superindentant are aware. Do not send you child to Wells unless your training for a violent offender.

Honestly man this school is just awful it disgusts me the staff especially is awful
