The worst school in Prince William County. Don’t let the traditional fool you the kids cuss are rude and don’t follow the rules but who can blame them when the teachers are SO BAD. They have a stupid dress code that no one follows, ugly uniforms that no one wears, and teachers who use their status to publicly humiliate kids that they don’t like. ALL the teachers have favorites and it’s so blatantly obvious because that student is able to get away with so much more than anyone else. All the teachers at this school care about is the test grades and that they make “school of excellence,” everyone knows that the teachers don’t really care about the students they just care about the grades that they produce. All the kids are held to an unrealistic expectation that leads to so much stress it’s crazy. There are NO sports except baseball which is aimed at guys because they’re isn’t a softball and of course they have this thing called “dojo” points which only the very BEST kids are given which allow them to go to this really fun event or do this really fun thing at the end of the month and if you don’t get like 100 you can’t go. And if your not a favorite the teachers love to take away like 5 points at a time for things like forgetting to tuck in your shirt after using the bathroom. And speaking of favorites EVERY month they have “students of the month” which are granted the opportunity to wear jeans on that Friday but the thing is it’s the same students EVERY MONTH.
Hey, why’d your mom pull you from Mary G porter traditional school?
The pressure was getting to me and the teachers weren’t helping at all. I felt uncomfortable being there ,like I was gonna get called out for a bad test grade or get yelled at for spacing out. I wanted to play football and do fun stuff like that but the atmosphere there was toxic and the people were mean, I didn’t want to come to school, I hated it.

You get like 3 minutes of locker time and get marked tardy if your late even if it’s because your locker is jammed. And your constantly being marked late because the busses come late all the time for drop off and than you get home late cuz they come late to pick you up. The students are so tired and bored of being basically under lock down 247 that they just talk about each other and spread rumors and due to the school being so small a rumor can go from 1st grade to 8th grade in a day. The bathrooms are gross and the food IS DISGUSTING so many kids have found hair in their food it’s vile. The teacher are unnecessarily strict and ALWAYS talking about students with the ladies at the front desk, the teachers gossip MORE than the students so, like a couple of teenagers. This school is NOT traditional it’s a breeding ground for self-esteem issues and unfairness.
