We have enjoyed all aspects of the academic, social, and extracurricular programs at Worthington. We live so close our children walk to school!

We moved to the area for the schools. Howard County is well known for their school system. Unfortunately, they aim for the common denominator, and not any higher.
They also sent our child home on the bus twice; the problem is, he is not a bus rider and was lost twice. The school accepted no responsibility. I do not recommend this school
