I think that Hammond is stuck in a rough situation. Its difficult for them to point to parents and say, your level of involvement equates to your childs' success. Too many parents at hammond think its the schools job to raise thier child. I sat in a 9th grade orientation and heard many parent questions related to how thier children could play football with bad grades. In response to those questions and to my surprise there is (and I quote) a "black parent-student liaison", who said it was his job to work with parents of black students to sort those things out and work as a bridge between the parents and administration.My advise: If you care about your child's education, work with them daily in elementary and middle school so they can do well on the gifted and talented tests. In GT classes they will almost certainly be insulated with students that care about doing well and most issues you will hear about are relegated to the hallway non-sense.

Hammond is an amazing school with a wonderful staff and diverse student body. Our motto is "where people are important" and it is evident at our school.

Currently, I have a 9th grader attending Hammond. The teachers are great! I've communicated with his teachers throughout the school year with no problem. I was able to keep up with my son's grades through hcpss connect which has been very effective. The staff is very professional and the Principal is the best! My son plans to get more involved with school activities his upcoming Sophomore year. I am very pleased with the Howard County school system.

I have had 2 children go through Hammond and both thrived under the leadership of Ms. Leonard and her wonderful, caring staff. My children were encouraged to become involved and to push themselves academically thanks to fantastic role models. They also made some great friends!
