Baltimore County Public Schools reviews

The professional development isn't nearly as good as other state counties I have worked for, and the politics are intense and unforgiving. If you get into a school with poor upper management that wants you out, good luck. The powers that be at headquarters will go along with it regardless of your actual skills, work ethic, student test scores, or any positive impact you are having on your students. I have seen good teachers casually dismissed from this county simply because they asked important questions in an earnest attempt to improve the school and the administration didn't want to answer them and decided to go after them. If you are going to work here, proceed with extreme caution before saying anything that might "rock the boat" even a little to anyone in a position of power.

They micro manage classroom teachers and they are biased and political when it comes to advancements and recognition. There are cliques and non responsiveness to legitimate grievances. Worst of all, some of the schools are infested with mice which leave droppings on your desk and surfaces. They run across your classroom.
