Towson High Law & Public Policy Reviews

 
There are a lot of good private schools in the same area as Towson high, but as a student, when I compare the quality of education between students at Towson and my friends that go to private schools, its the same education. The staff is dedicated and the teachers really want the kids to learn. I've never really been that school spirited but I do hold a sense of pride for my school. I know I do better here than I have done at other high schools, and if you're a parent in the Towson area deciding between private and public school for your kid, I would recommend this high school. The LPP program provides more options as far as classes and scholarships go even for students not in the program. Plus the art department is internationally recognized and competes with other high schools that are art magnet.

Excellent teachers. Honors curriculum is watered-down by county policy. Expectations are high only for students in GT and AP classes. Students are not pushed. Class selection is poor. Honors and GT classes have been eliminated to increase the number of AP classes offered. I completely regret not sending my children to private or parochial school (K-12). I compared my sons' writing to my husband's writing (He's a THS grad) and the boys' writing is comparable to my husband's fifth grade writing from Hampton Elementary.

THS is a great school, the LPP magnet really does well in preparing students for college, especially those who want to go into a law-realated profession. The other areas of the school are excellent also, especially the social studies department.

My four children graduated from Towson High School. All went on to college, three have graduated, one is still in college. Towson gave them a great foundation to do well in college. The teachers cared so much about the kids. They were all in honors or above, which is probably where the most motivated children are. They have all made friends for life, as well. It was an extremely well rounded education, including academics, a fabulous art department, great dramatic arts as well,and a competitive sports program.The current principal was always responsive to our concerns.

Towson High school is by far the most overrated high school in baltimore county. The teacher turnover rate is sub par. The available classes to enrol in is sub par. The administration is sub par.

I graduated from Towson last year and I must say I miss it a lot. I was a member of the Law and Public Policy Magnet. I had the best teachers and that greatly prepared me for college. I love my university but Towson will always be close to my heart. THS forever! General for life!

I go to Towson and I am a current 10th grader. I'm in the Law and Public Policy program and that's the reason why I go there. Not to mention all of the extracurricular activities and the teacher involovement. Good whole hearted classes with students who care. Plus with the AP classes and the Honors and GT are wonderful.

I had a great experience at Towson. The classes are great, and the teachers are helpful and encouraging. The G&T and Honors classes are the best, though - they're populated by the kids who want to learn, and that makes all the difference. The art department is one of the best in the county, aside from Carver's art magnet. There are a boatload of AP courses available, and while you can focus on a few favorite subjects, especially by Junior and Senior year, Towson keeps its 'Tradition of Excellence' through all areas, giving students a solid foundation for college.

The Law and Public Policy Program is why my daughter wakes up in the morning!
