It’s great! One of the best public High Schools I’ve ever seen. They have an amazing career program and more elective options than I have ever seen. Many of the school programs are heavily integrated with the University. I’m taking a clinical observations class this year, and we get to shadow jobs in the hospital at Mount Nittany Medical Center on par with experiences of a Penn State Medical Student. All of the faculty is helpful and dedicated, and avalibility to take AP or advanced courses is massive, as well as is the opportunity for aid in classes where students are struggling. Overall amazing school!
Truly is a fantastic high school- prepares students for college and beyond. Large ray of disciplines and classes to choose from. Passionate teachers and hundreds of resources.
Wish there was on-site school psychologists. They have the funds, but haven't prioritized it. Overall, mental health was not as prioritized and counseling department could help with classes, but not student's wellbeing.

If your child is perfect this is one of the best districts to go to. If not, if he/she needs any extra help, guidance, aides or support of any sort then he/she will be pushed aside and passed along just to make the district look good. We specifically requested an IEP for our special needs child and were refused, we were in the process of seeking legal support. Food is great, sports are great but support and administration is horrible.
Safety wise, the students can come and go as they please due to teachers propping open exit doors so they can go outside and smoke with students.
