Lansdowne High School

A preferred magnet high school in the SW area that students from other zones try to get into. One of the better schools (OK Catonsville is probably nicer, but everybody likes the underdog) in the area. Working-class neighborhood school free from the pretensions of blue ribbon schools in wealthier areas that are full of private school rejects. There is a problem with teen pregnancy, but that’s because the boys are so handsome and the girls can’t help it. Populated by the coolest kids in Baltimore County: retro punks and metal heads, grunge, emo, goth, jocks, cheerleaders, but no preppies thank you very much. Test scores rising, making AYP, and excellent GT and AP classes. Lansdowne is better than you think – it has to be.

Lansdowne High School. Teachers are hired and stay. There are no openings. A school where teachers want to work says a lot.
