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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I'm a current sophomore here and the school is alright, nothing special about it. If you're not a part of the LPP program then you don't get a lot of attention. Students suck, teachers either care a bit or don't at all. Admin SUCKS. Building is always trashed. We do have good sports and clubs though. Overall it's meh.

There was an understanding between the students and teachers that there were fixes that needed to be made to the building, however the academic changes don't seem to be in progress.

it wasn't anything crazy it was a normal high school really nothing too bad. I graduated when covid hit so i didn't get a prom and graduation (which I'm honestly not sad about at all) I played football and did field and track while enrolled there and it was a fun experience.
I love the polite staff and nice policies, but somethings are missing here or I think so as a parent! One of the most important issues for us is the safety of our children. My daughter couldn't get the bus facility because our home was not in the acceptable range. I am wondering how I should have a...

I am very disappointed in Towson High School. I am sure it's a great school for kids that are self motivated, high performing and know what they want to do but if your child has special needs you might think about looking at other school.
Towson High School has great academics and has some great teachers. If your child is high functioning asberger's or needs to be motivated or have their hand held or pushed a little you may want to consider another school. The guidance department is totally unsupportive and don't return phone calls a...
