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.

The school is very small, and everyone gets the chance to get to know every one of the teachers and faculties. The school is very clean and well up together. The faculty makes sure every student gets the help they need and always make sure they are okay. Very good communication with the students and very welcoming to new students.

I have been a student at fort Meade middle senior high school since the 6th grade and up until now the faculty has helped me so much especially now as a senior. I've struggled with mental health which has made it extremely hard with my academics,I've failed classes and had many absences but they helped me in every way they could.

I'm glad I grew up here, everyone was welcoming. I came here in the 5th grade from a different city and the administration have made a good effort to get to know me.
