I came into PWHS in the middle of my sophomore year of high school. At first it was hard to adjust, but after joining some clubs and the track team, I was able to make friends and become more acquainted with the school culture and activities. The academics were not a rigorous as my previous school but the school is still academically oriented. I took mainly honors and AP level courses which had heavy course loads which prepared me for college. The college application instruction process was also very thorough and the advisors were very helpful. The sports team were adequate. The only thing for improvement would be diversity.
Plymouth Whitemarsh High School is a place where people can be themselves without any concerns since it is a very accepting environment. The school offers a lot of extracurricular activities which includes a wide variety of sports and clubs. The teachers are not only engaging with their lessons, but also are willing to hear the needs of the students. The education the school provides for its students is second to none as the Colonial School District is ranked one of the highest in Pennsylvania.
Overall, I've had a very good experience at Plymouth Whitemarsh. The course selection is amazing, as well as many of the professors that teach them. The cafeteria is beautiful, a new gym has just been put in, and the numbers of clubs/activities to join is through the roof! However, my school could do a better job at helping kids that are a little less privileged than others. I have had some trouble handing in assignments due to not having a printer and at certain times not having internet access at all, and have received bad grades due to lateness despite explanations I gave about my situation. The AVID program I'm a part of is a great way for students to get help, but informing all teachers of individual people who need an extra helping hand would go a long way. Several teachers have helped me though, even going as far as to purchase me another book-bag when mine was falling apart. This shows, though is has imperfections, PW is a great school for any student's secondary education.
