I visited this school on 3 different occasions trying to enroll my son and each time I noticed a teacher/administrator yelling angrily at the children. The overall environment felt more like a correctional facility for delinquents than a learning facility for young scholars. Fortunately for my son, and thanks to the constant runaround the staff sent me on to get him enrolled, the classes filled up and I was unable to enroll him there. Thank goodness!

I am a parent that has moved a lot so my kids have gone to many different schools. This is more then the worst school that my kids have ever went to. The school is very unorganized, they don't keep the parents informed, there is a strong feel of lack of care for education among the staff it seems as if they are only working in this school for a paycheck. There has been many of times that I have seen teachers yelling at kids. Some to the point of the child crying. I think that this school could us a new staff that truly care about the children education and teachers that make learning fun. It is sad that this is what you get when you don't have money to seen your child to privet school You can't send them to schools out of your zone so in a way you have to put up with it sad but true..

William Paca is the best school in the county. One of my daughters started in pre k over 10years ago and now is about to go to high school she has been on the honor roll since 1st grade. The teachers started her on the path to education. Now she has been accepted to the Science and tech program at Charles Herbert High School. My youngest daughter just started pre-k this year with the same attitude and the teachers are still as professional and caring in wanting kids to suceed in school she is on the same path. Dorthy Clowers is an excellent principal and has the children's best interest in heart. She is a decated principal who believes education is the key to success. Thank You, DeniseHhiggs

I had the displeasure of attending this horrible school. Not only is it extremely unorganized but the office staff is rude, and unhelpful and act as if doing there job is a chore. As previously stated if you can AVOID sending your kids here.
