My daughter, who is finishing first grade, has had a great year! Her teachers, the staff, and the community all seem wonderful. However, it does seem a bit academically inferior to the school she went to for kindergarten. In fact, she often told me that first grade was significantly easier than kindergarten and I believe it because it doesn't seem like she learned a ton of new or more advanced material. It was also difficult to know at any given time exactly what she was learning since there was no homework.

We have been at their school for 5 years and have another 2 to go. This is an amazing school with teachers who care and great kids as well. A community school for sure. A gem in Timonium

It is my last year at Timonium and unfortunately we may not be able to formally say goodbye. I have been at the school with my children for 12 years. I can say that I don't know why anyone would send their child to private elementary school with one like this in their neighborhood. The kids are loved and enjoy going to school every day.

I feel like my child is welcome and supported. I know my child is getting an incredible education by attending public school. These teachers are dedicated and show up for work early in the morning and leave after hours in the evening.

Timonium Elementary struggles with a lot of bullying issues! The principle is not helpful with bullying issues as she often supports the instigator and reprimands others, including concerned parents, making various exscuses! It's really unfair and she is acting like the "Head Bully!"

Timonium is a great school if you are looking for a mediocre education. There is absolutely no creative teaching done at this school. Every assignment is done on a photocopy. That is courtesy of the great parent involvement. All parents are expected to come in and photocopy for the teachers. Bullying runs rampant in this school. I know bullying exists every where but here the principal actually makes excuses for the instigator! The principal actually thinks that she does not need to follow county guidelines on many issues and implements her own. If your child has a learning difference this is also not the school for you. This school is focused on it's GT program not on remediating any student that is double exceptional, dyslexic, dysgraphic, dyscalculia, ADD, ADHD, slow processing speed, low executive function etc. My advice is if you have a child with any type of need and are looking to move into the district and don't want to spend hundreds a month on tutoring don't move where you would be zoned for this school.

We couldn't be happier with this school. My child transferred from a local parochial school at a non-traditional time of year. The kids and teachers were very welcoming. The curriculum is challenging and engaging, and not just for the "GT" set. In third grade, all the kids do an Economics Unit where they make a product, market it through posters in the school, sell it, and vote on a charity to receive any profits. Very hands-on. Currently my child is earnestly telling me about different jump-rope tricks to be mastered, taught in school during Phys Ed. My child needed Gifted and Talented which means that for Math and Reading, the kids do 4th grade work starting in the spring of 3rd grade. This is exactly what I was looking for-- to be with kids the same age, but doing more demanding work. The way it is structured in Reading makes it pretty easy to see if your kid is ready to move up or needs to take it slower-- also something I wanted. Different levels, b/c kids are learning at different levels, whether they are offered or not. A little shout-out to Miss Gloria, who doesn't teach my child, but made sure my kid felt welcomed when new at the school.

Absolutely the best school in the county. I have never seen a teacher let a child slide. Each teacher I have dealt with has been very receptive to feedback and I feel that they all genuinely love teaching and love having successful students. The parent and community involvement is incredible. The children are well-behaved and love going to school. I don't know why people pay for private school in this area. Our kids consistently win county and state-level awards for science and art. Our MSA's are always in the high 90th percentile. You can't do better than this. Bravo to Timonium's teachers, parents and community.

Great school. I attended Timonium myself, and had a wonderful experience. The teachers were friendly and engaging, and the class size was perfect.
