Ridgely Middle School in Baltimore, Maryland

“Great school academically but bullying is tolerated. In my opinion their 'zero tolerance policy' is only on paper. My child was bullied two years at Ridgely and little or nothing was done about it. The school administration pretends that it does not exist. It's a serious issue at that school.”

“I'm a sixth grader at Ridgely. There's nothing you can say about Ridgely that's negative. Mrs. Kimball and Mrs. Sancomb are the best teachers. I'm on the school lacrosse team. It's a great mixing pot of students from all different backrounds. I'd reccomend it to anybody.”

“I was a student at RMS and, when reading these reviews, you must remember that junior high is perhaps the most difficult part of growing up. That being said, RMS was good for me. I was enrolled in all GT classes and I had a stellar education and really devoted teachers. From my perspective, RMS was a great learning experience and I was fully prepared for high school.”

“Unless your child is an A,B student, they will not do well in this school! Teachers have no patience or compassion!”

“This is a really good school, especially the GT classes. The best teachers are Ms.Bradshaw and Ms. Kline. The safety and discipline is good because every time I walk by the principal, she kind of scares me. It is also a very safe school, and I am getting a good education here.”

“I m not a parent but I went to this school last year. Now I m a freshman at Dulaney, and I got to say rms really helped me. The teachers are awesome at Rms. I know I complained about them wile I was their but they really set me up for high school. They made it easier on me. It s almost the end of the marking period and I m proud to say I have all b s and a s and I know I wouldn t have had the same if I didn t have the teachers I had last year. Ridgely is a really good school... The only thing they need is air conditioning.”

“The principle has met the things defined in the principle leadership catagory. The teacher quality was tough. Although, the teachers strive for academic excellence, they are also bias to minorities in the school and demonstrate racist attitudes to those students that are different. Safety and discipline recieved lowest due to the racist attitudes of the teachering staff; they don't want minority staff or minority students at that school. The overall quality is high because the school spends a lot of money on students to have books they keep at home and books they use at school. They have the best of the best compared to other schools in Baltimore County.”
