After reading the Negative reviews from 2015 until now, it is shocking how they are still True and we are almost in 2021, except now the issues of racism, discrimination, poor teaching, and bullying at this school, are now worse and glaringly apparent with zoom classes. Like past parents stated, if you are nonwhite, or do not contribute tremendously to the school, you and your child are ignored. The administration completely ignores concerns raised by multiple parents. Teachers are allowed to speak to students in condescending and disrespectful tones but demand unrealistic behavior from children. International parents concerns are dismissed. School violates mcps policies by retaliating against students who are not comfortable with being recorded on zoom. We will look for a better school.

There are some amazing teachers at Somerset. And there is a culture where the teachers work very hard and care about all the students. The 5th grade team of teachers is especially good. Really outstanding!

I was shocked to see the reviews talking about the racism and bullying at this school, not because it isn't true (it is) but because usually no one wants to admit it.

horrible, a lot of unstated discrimination by race; politics is very high here
