Alum: Marple Newtown was a very fun high school to attend, my peers, teachers, and staff were always incredibly supportive and friendly. Whenever I needed assistance or someone to talk to I knew I could count on the caring staff, people such as the security guards and nurses. During my time as a student at Marple, I was given the opportunity to take accelerated classes which greatly prepared me for college. In the accelerated and baseline classes, the teachers taught the class in a way that showed that they cared about the subject and for our understanding of the topics. If I ever had questions, I knew that I could approach any one of my teachers and they would be thoughtful in their responses. The school itself was in a great location, walking distance to many places I wanted to eat or hang out. It also had recent modifications that made it an attractive place to learn. The sports and arts facilities were always kept clean which allowed for students to feel excited to use them!... Read 124 reviews

Senior: Parkland High School has been a large part of my life for the past four years. Throughout this time I have experienced both positive and negative interactions with my school and its community. At Parkland High School there are a wide array of teachers and staff members who have been willing to help me and my fellow students in nearly any way needed when requested to do so. This includes help with assignments, study strategies, and college applications. Also, the overwhelming majority of the student body is welcoming and unlikely to bully or harass one another. Finally, the diversity in the school is outstanding and has allowed me to make many friends and learn about cultures other than my own. Despite the many positive traits held by Parkland High School, there are a few unfavorable ones. For example, as someone with dietary limitations, the cafeteria menu was frequently composed either nearly exclusively or exclusively of foods that I was not able to consume.... Read 152 reviews

Senior: I had a great experience at Perkiomen Valley School District. It provided me with strong academics, excellent teachers and an involved administration. I feel that being a part of the district made me a strong candidate at the colleges that I applied to. I feel that there were many opportunities for me to get involved in activities, sports and clubs. I was able to be a leader/mentor to incoming Freshman which was a great opportunity. I developed strong relationships with teachers and administration throughout my years at the schools. I do wish that there were more electives to choose from or more college level courses rather than just AP classes because several of my peers are going in with a lot of college credits because of the classes their schools offered. Perkiomen Valley School District has given me a strong foundation and helped me be very well rounded and prepared for college.... Read 94 reviews

Senior: Rose Tree Media School District is a very good School district. Every teacher I have encountered has been helpful and wants the best for every student. One thing they could work on is the food. Almost every food I see come out of the cafeteria looks consistent with prison food. Throughout the years I have had one of the best childhoods imaginable because of the great work that goes on in this school district. I could not recommend this to someone more and I cannot believe my journey here is about to be over.... Read 18 reviews

Alum: I graduated from Owen J Roberts High School and my experience was overall positive. I enjoyed most of my experience at Owen J. Roberts High School. I was a cheerleader and often felt supported by my environment and the people around me, including my coaches. I always felt safe on and around campus due to the security and occasional patrol from the local police station. The one thing I did not love about Owen J. Roberts was administrations inability to hold children responsible for their actions. I always felt like there was not a lot of authority during my attendance. However, this school was inclusive and provided many opportunities for any child that walked through the doors. The number of clubs and after school activities offered look great on college transcripts and the teachers were always very supportive.... Read 116 reviews

Senior: I understand that I am lucky to be part of the school district that I am part of. Generally speaking, the staff, students, and tools available to us are more than sufficient. Most of my classes are enjoyable. I have managed to maintain a 4.0 all throughout high school. Even if high-up administrators fail to provide me with any assistance I need, there is always a classroom teacher that is ready and able to help me. However, I do not feel as though our resources properly equip us for life after high school. One of our required classes junior year is meant to get us organized for higher education, but most students- including myself- felt greatly discouraged. We were dissuaded from community college and trade school. My school counselor struggled to aid me when I began applying for dual enrollment classes. I am still on my journey of navigating post-secondary education, but I wish my district empowered us more and prepared us effectively.... Read 51 reviews
