Town in Maryland
Current Resident: It is a beautiful area and most of the people are quite friendly. The Chesapeake Beach library is one of my favorite places in the beach, it is small, cozy, and warm. Brownies beach, the free one, is fun but unfortunately, it is often dirty or downright dangerous near the cliffs.... Read 25 reviews

Current Resident: Dunkirk has really improven these past 3 years. they went from having little to no stores to having a 3 new town centers. There is now a Marshalls, Harris Teeter, even many new food places including Chipotle, Taco Bell, Mod Pizza, Jersey mikes, etc. Dunkirk has really became a city where offers everything. For being a small town, they still found a way to have multiple hair dressers, dentists, grocery stores, and hardware stores. I can’t wait to see what they do next.... Read 25 reviews

Current Resident: Huntingtown is a sweet, suburban area in Southern Maryland. There is not a whole lot to do, but us residents make do with what we have. There are various dining options in neighboring towns. Along with here and there mom and pop shop's located throughout. We have a bowling alley, one of our finer attractions. Huntingtown is central to the county, and places like the North Beach boardwalk and Solomon's Island are not too far away.

Freshman: Many of the people speak negatively of the workload that the school gives to the students, and that is partially because the school is LIKE at a preparatory level for college to get you prepared. In online you obviously have to partially teach yourself since it is more on your own. I like how there are numerous help labs, recordings, teachers, and discussions that will aid you in addition to being able to text, call, and/or email all of your teachers. So far all the teachers have been kind, helpful, and reach out when you have questions. There are numerous clubs that are offered to immerse yourself in the school, but I would like to see more student involvement as a change. Albeit the school is rigorous, I highly recommend this school as it is unique, the teachers are helpful, there are students from around the world, the coursework is in the format of a college class to help you get acclimated to it, the school is interactive considering it is an online school, and so much more!...

Freshman: 2021-2022 was my first year as a high schooler and I would say Elizabeth Seton High school made the transition better than I expected! I first learned about the school through a friend's older sibling. I toured the school for the first time. My first impression of the school was great and very welcoming! A few of the then seniors talked to me about the school itself and I almost instantly loved the woman-empowered environment around the school. The idea of an all-girl school at first did not thrill me but now I can definitely say it was a great decision! The school offers many inclusive clubs and sports. I joined the soccer team before the school year began and met amazing people. Even if soccer isn't your thing, they also offer basketball, swimming, and many other sports. It's not all sports based though! There is also a robotics club, book club, equestrian club, BSU, theater and so much more. Seton does a great job of being inclusive and the diversity in the school is amazing!... Read 322 reviews
