They received a new principal for this school year (24-25), and she has done nothing to address the issues facing the students and families in this school. Apparently she got demoted from a high school in the county where she had very similar issues dealing with things as they arose.

It sucks.. the teachers don’t care about the schedule, some are cool but they don’t actually teach. The principal punishes the whole grade because of 1 or 2 students. Racism everywhere, teachers don’t care even though they are supposed to handle hate crimes. Students are trash too… They bully and disrespect teachers and other students.

I will say that the PVA program is good, but the office staff and principal must hate the students. My guess is that they are only there to collect a paycheck. Today is my niece's birthday and they said we could bring her food for her and her lunch table. When we arrived with the Chic-Fil-A food, the office staff refused to allow the food in because it was in a plastic bag instead of a brown paper bag or lunchbox. The office staff and principal knew the girls would be without lunch and they really didn't care one bit. I can't imagine more heartless people running a school!

The other comments here are older, and I know there's new teachers and staff. I think it's a better school than most people assume. It's also beautiful and doesn't feel like a jail like some AACPS schools.

The teachers and leadership staff look the other way in terms of bullying. The Administrator lie and the teachers curse.

The PVA magnet program at Brooklyn Park Middle School is outstanding! As a parent and volunteer, I see so many of the students with a great attitude, a quest for learning, and they are actually able to carry on conversations with adults! I am super impressed with this program and credit its success to the wonderful and highly motivated teachers and staff. I have been to many of the school events and have not witnessed "clique-ish" behavior or bullying at all. I have only seen the kids interacting and being friendly to everyone. The positive rewards that the teachers implement must be working, because my daughter is happy to go to school in the mornings and still has a smile on her face when she comes home in the evenings! I think the low score on this website should really be re-evaluated. It is an outstanding school with very helpful teachers and staff, as well as having incredibly gifted students!

I've subbed at this school only once, but feel inclined to give a positive opinion. It is true that this school has a "reputation" for some reason, perhaps because of its Baltimore address. Hopefully, I can help defeat that myth. I've worked in schools throughout MD and other states. This is not a hectic, bad, unruly school at all. I had a very nice day with staff and students. The students thanked me at the end of classes. The environment is "normal." It's not the highest ranked academically or perfect, but there are some kids here from very challenging backgrounds. This definitely isn't a "ghetto school" or a "failing school" and deserves no stigma. I've worked in schools with deserved stigmas, and I know what that looks/feels like. The halls and classes here feel "normal." It's not a bad place to be at all, and is certainly worth a chance. I look forward to returning soon. I'd be happy to teach there full time.

The Administration Team At Brooklyn Park Middle School Are Very Rude. They Are Cruel To The Students. My Child Told Guidance That Others Students Who Does Not Attend Brooklyn Park Are Coming To The School To Fight Her, And The School Did Not Help Or Try To Protect My Child. The Next Day The Girls Came To The School To Fight My Child And The School Expelled Both Of My Daughters. The School Lied To The Board Of Education And They Are Feeding Lies To The Communtiy About My Childern . Brooklyn Park Middle School Is Not A School That Can Be Trusted With You Child's Safety.

My son and daughter are in this school. He is an ASD (Asperger) in 6th grade and my daughter is in 7th grade. Bulling is a bigger problem than the administration wants to acknowledge. We have had to modify our son's IEP because of this bullying. Our daughter has had some bullying but not as bad. Most of the Teachers are excellent, and a few are outright outstanding when dealing with children with issues.
