Im currently in La Plata High school and I have had wonderful experiences with my teachers. They are memorable and teach well. Even with the pandemic the teaching has adapted very well and continues to be effective.
In Middle school I went to Piccowaxen. The teachers again were wonderful and I met a science teacher that would forever change my life. He helped me decide where I would take my future in science and I think about him every day with how much he helped. Unfortunately he no longer teaches there.
I attended Dr. Brown pre k - half of 4th grade and had ok experiences but the area of Waldorf where I used to live was not the best. The students were intimidating as well as the teachers but there were many there that were very kind which I was fortunate enough to have. I later moved and went to Walter J, Mitchell. I had a bad experience with a 5th grade teacher that treated me different from the rest of the kids, but every other teacher there was wonderful!

Hello, I am speaking as a parent of an alum and a current student at NPHS. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in several different CCBOE schools.
Overall Chuck County Schools have been great for my kids, and has more than met their needs. Like anyplace, it has areas where it could improve (lousy food has been mentioned), however , the school system really tries to do the best it can for its students and does the job well with the resources it has. Parents need to be more involved with their kids education to get the most out of what CCBOE schools have to offer and the resulting success can be as high as the sky.
I will say that regarding the CTE program, the way in which slots are granted should be more competitive and more weight should be on academic achievement and teacher recommendations as it was originally done. I believe the program’s competitiveness has been watered down over the years beginning in school year 2019-2020.

As a student of CCPS, it has gone downhill tremendously. My brother was pulled from the school system and is currently homeschooled. The board of education only cares about money and not the well-being of students. Parent, student, and teacher input is disregarded and the schools are prime hotspots for drugs and weapons.
