Peters Township School District Reviews

Peters is one of the best school districts in PA where it actually matters, on academics and preparation for college / life. Peters gets dinged for not being "diverse" enough but that just means the students don't fit some superficial and inane definition of the word that has nothing to do with real diversity of thought but is more about what students look like. Let's be honest, the quality of a school district is driven by how involved and committed the parents are. Peters is almost entirely populated by middle to upper middle class folk who work hard, have traditional values, and make sacrifices to ensure their children have a good life. That's what matters and in that regard Peters is one of the best places anywhere that you can live and send your kids to school.

Peters Township School District helped me greatly to prepare for college, and have a fun time while learning. The majority of the teachers are wonderful, and truly love their field of teaching, which makes it easier and more enjoyable to learn the material from them. There is a wide variety of academic opportunities, activities, electives, and sports. The only thing I would want to change is the diversity of the students and teachers. Due to the fact that it is located in PA, in a suburb, the majority of students and teachers are white.
I have had a very positive experience attending school in Peters Township. The opportunity for AP & honors classes is impressive and the curriculum offered is quite challenging. All four years I played on the varsity soccer program and enjoyed participating in a competitive division.
There are many club opportunities such as theater, media, language clubs and peer jury, sports, etc. My junior year, the PTSD teachers went on strike. That was quite a frustrating experience for everyone and made that year a difficult one.
