School Reviews
4 3/2/2019
Considering the immense population of this school, and that it is part of the 13th most underfunded school district in Pennsylvania, this school is amazing. The teachers and staff are highly dedicated. There are many wonderful sports, arts, and science programs. The students who work hard, and have involved parents achieve amazing goals. We are very diverse and have such a rich culture because of it. My children are all honors students, active in their school and community, and love their teachers. We are just crowded.
