Problems

Meade Senior High School is perceived as one of the worst among Anne Arundel County schools, although some believe that reputation is unjustified [link]. This negative reputation was bolstered in 2005, when Principal Joan Valentine was accused of blocking efforts to investigate the beating of one student by 10 to 15 other students in January of that year [link].
