Pennridge High School was a decent experience. The building itself was recently revamped within the last ten years, so the facilities are new and updated. The faculty that I've had were great teachers as all of them were always open when it came to questions or extended help on school work. Pennridge also has a lot of clubs and activities for all different type of students to get involved in. There is a lack of diversity in which being a person of color was a hard thing to adjust and relate to other peers. Pennridge should focus on some of those issues so that their whole student body feels a part of something in some way. . Safety of the school is great, as there are always door guards in the morning and during dismissal. Overall, I'm glad and privileged that I've had the pleasure of growing up in this school district. Pennridge creates great foundations for students entering college and or leaving to enter into adulthood.

The best thing that is given at pennridge High School is the community. Everyone helps each other and gives numerous options for extracurricular activities and help services. One thing that could be changed is the amount of freedom that is given to the students. Once students reach higher education, they are stuck with a hard transition from high school to college. If high school can start that process early, incoming college freshman will be able to relieve most of the stress given in the first couple semesters.
I made wonderful connections with students and teachers at Pennridge High School. I would send my kids to Pennridge. I became very involved in high school and Pennridge offered various things to allow me to become involved. Pennridge allowed me to become involved in sports, academic honors, and service groups. The teachers also cared about the student's success and the class sizes allowed each student to get enough help. The students also very very supportive and worked hard to be successful.
