Havre De Grace Middle School

Overall, I can not recommend this school for any child. It's unfortunate because the elementary school system in Harford County provides a very strong foundation to only be lost as they enter this Middle School.

This school is horrible. They have these bully groups called squads. They will start fights with your child for no reason at all. They are just thugs plain and simple. Forget trying to get the staff to help because they have to keep everything equal meaning your good student has to be put in the thug category to survive. Political correctness on steroids.

Do not go to this school, i repeat do not go to hdg middle, i mean the high school is okay and the elementry schools are fine but the middle is terrible. the teachers constantly yell at kids and insult them, complete rasim and terrible bullying by students. Lots of fights have been reported, students getting depressed, lots of cussing and rude gesters, the counslor doesn't even help you if you have problems. they send you right to the office if you have a problem and they can't apperently fix it. I think the problem is, is that the audlts don't know how to properly handle the kids and part of it is because of a mixture of races and different people. If you think aberdeen is bad and edgewood, you have another school on that list.

I am very disappointed in this school. I write the teachers to get progress on my daughter and the teachers actually ignore the emails. They do not update the edline until after the quarter is over and my daughter already has a grade I don't approve of. This is a very, very poor school that does not let you know anything that is going on until after it is too late. If you can avoid this school at all, please do so. The teachers don't care about the students and don't bother to let the parents know what is going on.
