“Administration is on board with the kids'. I've seen extra effort given to the kids that need it. I feel the test scores don't accurately show the 'real' school. There is a population of 'transient' kids, so they don't test well. They either leave before testing or start school in the middle of the year, so they don't learn everything they need for the test. Very happy with my kids' education-3rd is about to start.”

“My son went to Swansfield from kindergarten to the 2nd grade. It did take him awhile to adjust to Phelps luck, Ms McCoy made it so easy for my baby. Now hes in the 4th grade and loves the school, he thinks his teacher Ms Emond is great and fun, he loves music because of Miss Rose.Phelps Luck is a great school, sure its had its bumps but what school has'nt. He is getting more involved in things at school , hes in the recycling bunch and i think that's a great start. The staff from what I have seen really do care and you should have seen the attendance on back to school night, it was great.”

“I was shocked to read the bad reviews of this school. My son is in Mrs. Koza's first grade class, and I have been extremely thrilled with the quality of time the teachers spend with each student. My son was behind in reading and was invited to participate in a new program that has increased his reading and his trust in his teachers. It is true that the schools with predominantly white students score better than those with varied races in the DC/Baltimore area. I can only speculate that those areas are the most expensive and therefore pay more in taxes to provide better equipment and higher pay for their teachers. This is a great school that continues to improve. Rich snobs shouldn't give it a bad rap because it isn't a private school. The teachers and faculty care, and you can't buy that.”

“My daughter started at PL after a long-distance move. I worried about the adjustment and the comments on this sight. After reading the negative comments I looked at private schools but decided to give this one a chance. After putting her into a summer program that turned out awful I was even more hesitant, the kids were terrible and the there was no supervision. I'm glad I gave Phelps Luck a chance. Adjusting to the area was harder for her then adjusting to her new school. My daughter was terrified to start a new school and I kept a very close eye on her and the school . The kindergarten staff is exceptional. My daughter loves going school now and is learning so quickly it's hard for me to keep up.”

“There are better schools in Baltimore City! I am not happy with this school and my child will not attend this school next year. I may have to pay for a private school next year, but it will not be done without a protest. This is an expensive area, but my children are getting a low budget education.”

“As a parent, I am extremely dissapointed and dissatisfied with this schools' curriculum or lack thereof, as well as the lack of a clear vision for the students. The test scores are horrible when compared to other schools in the howard county school system. We moved here thinkin this school system was superior to any other county in Maryland. We were shocked and dissapointed to learn that unless your children attend schools like Centennial, Ilchester or Northfield to name a few, then your child is not getting the same education. Howard County is an expensive area to live and its a crying shame that unless you live in the most expensive, mostly white areas and so called elite sections of Howard county; you have to settle for inferior schools.”
