  1. #1 Best Public Middle Schools in Anne Arundel CountyChesapeake Science Point Public Charter SchoolAnne Arundel County Public Schools, MD•6-12•Rating 3.59 out of 5 54 reviewsSenior: In my time at Chesapeake Science Point, I discovered that my peers made a significant difference. I formed numerous friendships and learned a great deal from them. The school boasts an outstanding academic system with dedicated teachers. Despite its small size, accommodating no more than 700 students in grades 6-12, I had an enjoyable experience. The limited number of students does hinder our ability to actively compete in sports with larger schools. I encountered this challenge while participating in sports such as JV Basketball, Varsity Soccer, and Varsity Track and Field. However, this does not define the school in its entirety. Despite not having the most robust sports programs, CSP provides an excellent environment for academic and social growth, thanks to its exceptional education system and diversity....

  27. AACPS Virtual AcademyOnline School•Anne Arundel County Public Schools, MD•3-12•Rating 5 out of 5 1 reviewFreshman: During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was extremely nervous to go back inside of a real school. Everyone getting sick, people passing left and right, food going out of stock, just complete madness. These events happened while I was in 5th grade, and Middle School would be the transition to actually growing up. Becoming responsible. However, most schools were either too far away for my parents to pick me up and drop me off in time or the school buses didn't go to my location. I was then shown a brand new school, Virtual Academy, that my mother proved would be efficient. At first I complied since it was convenient (who doesn't want to go to school in PJs?), but I soon understood what being at school really was.I got to connect with people that I had nothing or everything in common with, including the teachers. I feel valued, respected among my peers, and ultimately understood within my teachers. I am currently a 9th grader in the Virtual Academy, and I don't intend to change that....
