GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Gunpowder is a hidden gem in the Perry Hall community. My son has flourished and gets wonderful support from his teachers, Special education team and administration. We are very blessed to be at Gunpowder!

We are 2 years in and the school has met all of my expectations. The school promotes communication between the students, staff are encouraging and guide the students to be the same way, and overall its a very positive environment.

my daughters experience was fine until she reached 5th grade. This year has been the worst most teachers don’t care, if you asked them for help they will fail them all year long and if your child gets bullied forget about anything being done to prevent it happening again.
