Benjamin Stoddert Middle School

At one point this school was the worst in Charles County but I'm here to tell you that's no longer the case. With amazing teachers and administrators who care, this is the BEST middle school in Charles County!

A lot of things are changing for the better in this school. The school has a new principal, Mr. Schroeck, who is all about the kids. We as parents need to work together with the school to make this a better school. Every concern I have when I write to my child's teachers, principal or Mr. King (6th grade administrative assistant), I get a prompt reply. My concerns are always resolved in less than 12 hours and sometimes in less than an hour. Teachers are not perfect but there have been a lot of improvement and it is really heading towards the right direction.

I am a third year student at Stoddert and I will honestly say, I hate it. I haven't been here the whole 8th grade year either. The teachers are amazing. They honestly want to help students but the students, could care less. Most of the students respect nothing and no one in the school. Our administration is terrible. No one ever gets in trouble really because they let it slide way too much. The hallways are utter chaos, you can't get to your next class without getting elbowed or shoved. I had to find other routes to my classes. And bullying is an extreme problem here. You can get hit, and they will pretend not to notice it. You can get teased and no one will care to hear you out. Trust me, it happens to me. Stoddert could be a good school, but the administration needs to step up and do their job! I wish I could give this school no stars but I will have to settle for giving it one.

This school is the worst in Charles County. It's really a shame because the elementary school in our zone was amazing. The lack of communication from the principal to their crazy rules of kids not being able to wear white t-shirts. The only thing that helped my child make through the last 3 years is him being in advanced classes and prayer. He has been bullied on multiple occasions and the administration doesn't seem to care one bit. I am so happy that this is my sons last year. AVOID THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COST!
