Not at all happy with this school. Classes over crowded. Previous leadership was very misogynistic and rude to mothers but listened to fathers. Several altercations through out the years with various chikdren. Often times children are unsupervised and on their devices playing games. Students are not supported when they have special needs issues. Feeder middle school is aweful.

The teachers and staff really care about the students and it's a great feeling of unity throught. All worked especially hard to keep all the kids up to speed during the pandemic.

Overwhelmingly positive. I was considering private school but am so happy I didn’t. The education and the attentiveness my daughter receives is so much better than I expected

I am disappointed with the lack of time teacher spend focusing on school work with children. The misbehavior on the buses are not managed well as older children are wrongly influencing your children. The only good thing was that my child’s bus driver was awesome and looked after the young ones.

Our experience has not been pleasing so far. My child has just started school this year. The language he has learned is shocking. He has constantly been bullied on the bus. He is prompted by the older students on the bus to use foul language and then they report it to the bus driver and he in turn gets in trouble. He has been spit on on the bus. Everyday it is something upsetting. I am now driving him to and from school.

The teachers are great so far. The school is overcrowded so the classrooms are overcrowded. I don't feel it is right the teachers have to pay for the supplies for the students since it is the school that allows all them kids into a classroom. That is not fair to the teachers who already don't make enough to teach. Also, the bus situations are horrible and disgusting. The bullying is out of control and doesn't have consequences. I rated this school average due to the bullying on the buses and the overcrowding.

Overall, Vincent Farm is a good school. Its a new and modern facility which creates a great environment for learning. Most of the teachers and staff are great. However, the school is very overcrowded. There are about 900 students enrolled making it about 200 over capacity. The numbers will keep going up. The parking lot is a disaster. Very poorly planned. Also, this year, I am disappointed with the support of the staff for my son who is special needs.

My son has had excellent teachers. The administration has done a great job with the ever increasing number of students. The issue is size. The school population has grown beyond its walls.

The problem with Vincent Farms is that they are so concerned about how they look, they will not acknowledge any problems they have with teachers and bully the parents into believing everything is ok and in the best interest of the child. Very Disappointing

I absolutely Love this school. My daughter started when the school first opened in 2008. Now my other two kids attend the school and I'm so impressed and happy with the teachers and staff. My kids love going to school everyday.

This is a wonderful school that has a strong academic program that is enhanced with state-of-the-art technology. Specifically, the math program is outstanding. Students are very adept at reasoning and problem-solving, and they never use calculators. Grades are judged with very high standards. The student population is wonderfully diverse, truly representing the beautiful melting pot that makes America so unique. I highly recommend this school!

This school is very confusing to me. My son has been going here since Kindergarten and is now in the Second grade. Granted this year there has been a swap of teachers along with the principle yet I feel that there is no instituted resolution for the children who are minorities in the school or who have a learning curve. The school states there are options available to the children yet there is no commencement in these options, only to talk about it. Also not sure the job description of the vice principle but to rush through a meeting - maybe to update the website? The teacher he has this year and last year seem to try to help my son by pushing him or changing his seating arrangement yet there seems to be something missing. Can't put my finger on it....

My son is a 5th grader and will have his 5th grade fare well tomorrow. I will truly miss the teachers and administration as this school. Each of them have been great pushing him to do his very best. It has been a wonderful experience for him and he has excelled both ademically and socially. Thank you to the great staff at VFE. He is well prepared for middle school.

The teachers here pursue professional development like no other school, and we are constantly reading the latest research. The teachers at VFES are committed to providing the best education to all students. The school's reading program centers on metacognition, or thinking while you read. This approach is essential to reading comprehension and it makes reading so enjoyable! I love working at this school with all of the technology and support from administration. We truly have a shared mission of developing strong readers, but more importantly, thinkers.

Vincent Farm is an excellent school!! The prinicipal is running a tight ship and it shows. She hand picked some of the best teachers in the state to work at this school. In addition, the technology is amazing. Every classroom offers high tech learning aids including electronic "chalkboards" and ample laptops for the students. We have been very impressed with all aspects of this school!

VFES is the newest elementary school in Baltimore County -- they are in their third year. My daughter has been doing extremely well, she is reading above her second grade level and has been placed in a math class that challenges her. Overall I have been very happy with the teachers and administration.
