My son was called names by classmates (which was heard by students, teachers, and reported to admin) but never handled. They referred to his potential ADHD as an "underlying issue" as if it made him less than despite the large student body of ADHD kids. He was singled out, treated differently than the kids that have been there longer/kids with legacy parents.

The Evergreen campus itself is small but also quite beautiful in the varying seasons. The admissions building is a beautiful Victorian style home surrounded by a big quad and varying buildings. The grounds seem to be well maintained. The athletic center with the pool (the FAC) is also kept up well. The biggest complaint I have as a commuter and a visitor is the parking. There is basically no on-campus parking. The visitor lot is expensive and small -- often times it is reserved for different athletic and academic events on campus. You can try nearby side streets but there are times when nobody is allowed to park there, which tend to coincide with the end of undergrad classes and the beginning of grad classes. There are shuttles to locations like the FAC and the cathedral of Mary, Our Queen, but the shuttle is slow and unreliable. The graduate campuses at Timonium and Columbia have huge parking lots with enough room for everyone. If you want to visit, invest in an Uber or be willing to circle around for a while to park. Or you can pay for the Jenkins visitor lot. Your choice!

No school is perfect, but we felt Greenmount came awfully close to meeting that parental ideal. It provided our child with a five star education at a modest for private, school cost and was academically and socially transformative. The staff were bright, creative, nurturing and insightful. Even the two tough love teachers were lovely folks who I respect and have genuine affection for. Some of its faculty were down right brilliant and amazed us left and right. We are both educators so know good teaching when we see it and most times it was amazing as were the administrators: Steve, Elaine and Liz. I can't speak to the present staff, as a few of our favorites have moved on, but when we were there, you would be hard pressed to find a more talented math and language arts faculty. Every one my daughter caught, were knock your socks off good! Sometimes I'd sigh with pleasure watching them teach. One that we nearly worshiped, Ms Tanza is is still on staff and she was an outstanding educator, but went to a much needed administrative position. The administration and office staff were always welcoming, and generous with their time and so kind. If they said they would look into something, or amend it, they promptly did so. I don't know of another head of school who would drop everything and personally walk down and check on a child who was feeling a bit anxious like Ms Elaine and Ms Liz, or a history teacher who would bat around a project after school with your child for 30 minutes, like Fletcher. I felt that every staff member genuinely enjoyed children and took the responsibility assigned to them. They are committed, kind watchful, hard working and the majority deep souled. We loved the small cozy feel, communally imaginative and artistic hum, and a staff that strategized together, and things like Shakespeare plays open to all, vibrantly interesting themes, spiraling curriculum and creative after school club offerings. Their mutual concern for students extended beyond academics, and strongly factored in each student's confidence, learning style, social and emotional well being. Issues of bulling and unkindness were addressed, as well as academic remediation and encouragement provided. Teachers invited students to drop in after school with questions. If a mistakes was made they owned and and apologized. I adored that about them.They were great about email. Many were witty, humble and delightful. I once watched two well up with tears at how far my child had come. My child was dyslexic and dysgraphic and hated writing and would be in tears for hours and left a strong writer and great speller thanks to the combined talents of Ms. Tanza, Ms. Allison and Ms. Pam. They literally remediated her in a 1.5 months and took her fear and dread of writing away. They were miraculous. She was quiet and made great friends and grew in confidence. I saw children who hated math grow to relish it and describe it as their favorite subject. In fact, I have never seen a group of children so fired up and in love with math. Mr Luca was as outstanding at the language arts staff. Unfortunately, those instructors have left, retired or taken admin positions, but they were worth every penny of that tuition. Science other than my daughter's first two years with Pam and Ms Elizabeth who were awesome, could have been stronger, but we haven't been at a school were I wouldn't level that same complaint. It is hard to find capable science faculty and do so on the limited budget most schools have, even at the 35K a year schools. There are sometimes good club activities to round that out and they were actively working on improving the situation prior. Like all private schools, there is a lot of staff turnover. That is both a good and bad thing. Sometimes you hit it right and catch some rather breathtaking educators who are only in town for a few years, or unfortunately near retirement and you are heart broken to see them go. Yet anyone not up to snuff is rarely retained for more than a year, which is more than you can say about public school. It's sad when the stellar ones leave, but comforting when anyone struggling is moved along, and the experience is uniformly allotted. If public school is not a great fit for you child, race to GreenMount, it really is a gem of a school with the most caring and delightful staff.

There is a ton of work yet it's all busy work, not work that is needed. The head teacher and founder, Tom, has only one interest, and it's getting access to presenters to come to the school and receive donations. I wouldn't recommend The Community School. You are not allowed to miss school due to being sick or even surgery. My son had to have life saving surgery and due to him having surgery he was treated terribly. Tom would say mean things to my son everyday in front of the whole class. Tom called him names. Tom put him down. Tom didn't allow him help from his brother with getting things and picking things up. He even forced their seats apart so his brother couldn't help him. My son was not able to pick up more than 5 lbs or bend and twist for 6 weeks after surgery. My son sat in class every day in pain as his teacher made him feel like he was worthless. Then, Tom kicked my son out of the school because I as his mom called and told him not to talk or treat my child like that. My son wouldn't of went back this year but to kick a kid out because you can't treat him like dirt and get away with it. After my phone call, Tom chose to stop speaking to my son all together and ignore him. My other son graduated this year and his 4 years at this school wasn't good either. He had to teach his self algebra, have a tutor for calculus and took college courses plus self taught his self because Tom chose to use him as a junior staff member instead of letting him graduate a year early when he had already been through every course he was learning for a second time.

Granted, I have nothing else to compare it to as this is my first time going to school in about 15 years. The professors come from a wide variety of studies and parts of the world which contributes to the global aspect of the learning repertoire. The daytime student body is comprised mostly of Chinese students who have little to no work experience. You'll find at more established universities they do not need to rely on this demographic for sustainability. The evening student body is your average full-time worker who brings a lot more to the discussions and group work. The campus is perfection. Brand new building and one of the best locations in the harbor. The staff who works here tries very very hard to keep the building in excellent working order. I'm always impressed with the level of staff here. The officers go above and beyond to maintain a secure building. I love coming to campus. I graduate in a few months and will honestly miss being a student here. I will love and appreciate having Johns Hopkins on my diploma and CV for the rest of my life.
