Reply to comment by pk10534 in Baltimore City public schools wants to make sure student parents graduate high school, here’s how by locker1313
It's extremely hit or miss. Some schools do and some schools don't. High schools are supposed to include it in the required health class, but that class isn't a state tested subject, so it's often taught by long-term subs or other unqualified individuals. It's often glossed over or taught ineffectively. The adults teaching the class don't have a thorough required training for the subject matter so the quality varies dramatically.
Sex ed is not required in middle school. Some schools will provide it, particularly as part of a partnership program with Planned Parenthood, Hopkins, or something like that. But many schools do not provide it at all. At the middle school level, it depends on if it's a priority of the school administrators.
