    "There are some great teachers at this school, and overall we are happy. While the great teachers outnumber the poor ones, there are definitely some poor teachers as well, though that's probably true in any school. Parents are also expected to check Edline regularly, but apparently teachers are not expected to update Edline on a regular basis. Often 3 weeks will go by without updates, and many teachers don't bother to post assignments on Edline, which means if you have a disorganized kid who doesn't get everything down in her agenda then you can't support them as much as you should be able to. The communication is also much poorer than I would have expected. My child was failing a class and I heard nothing from the teacher. In sixth grade, the teacher should notify the parents. Not all teachers are good about responding to emails, and policies are not well communicated. The administration is not as receptive to feedback as they should be, perhaps because overall they do a good job educating their students. However, there is room for improvement, especially in the areas mentioned above, and in the language arts classes. Students are not taught to write effectively."

    "My child is fortunate to be in the magnet program at Takoma Park Middle. His experience has been fantastic, from the very first day. The quality of the teaching and organization of the magnet program is absolutely incredible. Prior to his transfer to Takoma Park, my child was attending an academically centered private school. We have found the teaching at Takoma Park to be equal or better than what we experienced in the private school environment. The extra curricular activities are also very good, well managed and expansive for the students. This school is a 5 in my book!"

    "this school is the best! clean, excellent education. great teachers! the first day i walked in as a 6th grader two years ago, i felt so welcomed and relaxed. not like in other schools. i wish i never transferred, especially at the end of 8th grade. trust and believe me, if ur student goes to this school or will be goin to this skool, they might complain that they dnt like it, but you know what? the day they leave they'll be wanting to go back. everyone and anyone will garanteed this to u! i miss it here soooo much!"

    "Principal leadership - 1 Teacher Quality - 4 (most are excellent, but there are a few who should probably not be teaching in middle school) Extracurricular - 4 Parent Involvement - 3 Safety and Discipline - 1 (Fights are all too common and there is inadequate supervision to prevent them. When there is aggression,often the victim and the aggressors receive the same punishment."
