I have never disliked my school into I disliked this one.we can't wear jeans, we can't wear certain colored shoes, we get written up if our skirt is too "short", and some of the teachers lie(not calling them out). I recommend you sending your children there for pre-k. But I will admit there's some awesome administrators. Like Mrs.Elkins, Mrs.Mcaffe , Mr.Whitehead , Mr.Layton, Mrs and Mr. Masterson. But one more thing, my math teacher isn't certified too be a math teacher, the kids in my class just talk the whole class and then fails all of us. I miss Mrs.Thompson she really helped me in math and I hope she decides too come back. Overall. I give this school a 40%

I am writing this letter to finally express what I have carried for many years. I have spent more…read morethan eleven years running my snowball and hotdog stand near your campus. This business is not just a job for me -- it is the only source of income I have to support my two sons. I fought for custody and now raise them five days a week until they reach college. Everything I do is for them. Even with all the hard work I put in, I have never felt supported or respected by your school. Almost every day, I feel judged by the looks I get from the cars leaving your property. Instead of seeing a hardworking father providing for his children, it feels like I am viewed as a problem. What hurt the most was receiving a letter from the Health Department at my home with no communication from the school. That moment felt like an attack on the very thing that feeds my family. It created stress and confusion in a home I work hard to keep stable. Your school speaks a lot about brotherhood, but brotherhood is more than a word. Brotherhood is supposed to show in actions -- compassion, respect, and support for the people around you. From my experience, I have felt the opposite. The contradiction with the word brotherhood Your school uses the word brotherhood as one of its main values. You speak it, promote it, and teach it. But what I have experienced does not match that message at all. Brotherhood means standing with people, not looking down on them. Brotherhood means treating others with respect, especially the ones trying to raise their kids and keep food on the table. Brotherhood means seeing the human being behind the business, not treating them like they do not matter. What I have seen is the opposite: * I work every day to support my sons, yet I feel judged by the cars leaving your school. That is not brotherhood. That is dismissal. * I serve families from your school, but I never receive acknowledgement or appreciation. That is not brotherhood. That is selective respect. * I received a Health Department letter without warning or communication, putting my business at risk. That is not brotherhood. That is harm. * Your students see how the school treats someone working honestly right outside the building. That teaches them to ignore struggle instead of understanding it. A message like brotherhood should not be a slogan. It should be lived. It should be shown through action, compassion, and fair treatment. When a school claims brotherhood but makes a hardworking father feel unwelcome, it sends a painful message -- that the word is just marketing, not truth. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for the values you claim to stand on to match the way people in your community are treated. How your actions have affected me * I felt judged, unwelcome, and overlooked by families and staff leaving your campus. * My business was put at risk without any direct communication or warning. * My sons felt the impact of the stress your actions caused. * I lost trust in a school that seems disconnected from the community it sits in. Why this matters * My business is the only income my family depends on When anything threatens it, the impact hits my home immediately. My sons feel it. I feel it. This stand is how I keep food on the table and stability in their lives. * Respect should move both ways in a community Your school has power and influence. With that comes responsibility. A community works best when institutions treat the people around them with fairness and kindness. * A school should lift its community, not make people feel invisible No one working honestly to support their family should feel like they do not belong. When a school overlooks or dismisses someone, it sends a hurtful message. * Students learn from what they see every day If students see their school ignoring a hardworking father in the community, that becomes the real lesson. What they witness outside the classroom speaks louder than anything written in a handbook. I stand outside in the heat, cold, and rain to take care of my boys. I work honestly, respectfully, and with pride. All I want is to be treated with the same respect that I show others. A school built on the idea of brotherhood should understand the importance of lifting up the people around it, especially those trying to keep their families steady. I hope this letter makes the school reflect on the impact of its actions. I hope it encourages better treatment of community members and a stronger understanding of what brotherhood truly means. I am asking for acknowledgment, understanding, and a commitment that no future actions will harm my business or my ability to support my sons. I want to believe that your school can live up to the values it promotes. Thank you for taking the time to hear my experience. I look forward to a response that shows understanding and accountability.

I won't name any but shockingly, the worst of my bullies was a POC and the school didn't do anything about the things he did to me (such as getting his friends to hold me down while he beat me with a stick) or the things he said (he, in front of the teacher, said that it was good my cat died(it was in Christmas) in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL) but never faced any consequences because I was labeled a troublemaker.

Students are taught so well in Spanish, that they will be fluent or at least nearly fluent upon completion of this course. It is also great that the class sizes are small (usually fewer than 20 students per class) which enhances learning. The teachers genuinely care about the students' education. One of the greatest strengths of this school are their peers. It is clear that the other students have parents that care about their child's education which encourages the students to come to school ready to learn. The school is also very firm about bully prevention. Overall, we were very happy with this school. BI

The class sizes are good and they offer after school help for students who need to get caught up. My child is not even in high-school yet and is taking courses I took in college. It is very fast pace learning environment so kids will need to be strong in education thus the entrance exam. I understand everyone has a different experience but in the area of education, qualifications, and communication they are top class. Because they are new, they do not have athletic sports yet, but this school is about a STEM education not athletics.

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!
