Open Quote Bullying is rampant at this school. Principal is the head bully and protects her numbers by burying the reports and by ignoring county rules and making her own. My son has been bullied at this school repeatedly and the school just ignores it, makes excuses for the bully, makes the victim feel bad for reporting and praises the bully. NOT A GOOD SCHOOL. The school only cares about the naturally smart kids so if your child needs a little help or a lot of help, Timonium is NOT the school for you. They only care about how their numbers look and could care less about trouble and hope it goes away. Fox45 Project Baltimore NEEDS to doa report on this school!!! Close Quote
