Middle School Student: The faculty is amazing. Everyone hired is very supportive. The academics are wonderful, especially for the honors classes. A lot of clubs, and sports are huge here. Everyone goes to football games even though our team sucks. I play tennis. We have a district officer, bullet proof glass, visitor tags, monthly safety drills, etc. Diversity sucks. Most kids are white. A lot of kids vape, but you can find good people if you look. The guidance counselor is super nice but counseling gets better at the high school. Food is good, and many options. I’m vegetarian so that was good. The janitors are always smiling. The nurse can be helpful sometimes. Just stay away from the stupid parties, stick with the out-crowd, take honors classes, and you will be absolutely fine. Being Christian at a public school is hard, but if I could do it, so can you!... Read 2 reviews

Alum: The school was a great experience for my three years here. The sports teams I was apart of always were very fun. It was hard to get students to the games so it didn’t have the same feel as a high school game. Overall very good school... Read 7 reviews

Alum: My personal experience with JS Wilson was mostly enjoyable. I had an excellent education. My only negative would be that some of my teachers seemed to care more about some students than others but I persevered and made it through despite all the challenges a middle schooler can face. JS was the first school I attended in Erie Pa after moving from Morgantown WV. I had a hard time adjusting but the atmosphere made me feel better about having to make new friends and I felt more included. Some teachers I had were the best to this very day. I had an english teacher that taught me valuable information that I kept through out my middle and high school careers. These memories and lessons will stick with me through my education as learning never stops.... Read 2 reviews

Middle School Student: Most teachers were very accommodating to any needs I had, but some were unwilling to adjust the curriculum or give students extra help. However, that was few and far between and I had a good experience at this school.... Read 1 review

Middle School Student: Overall, Wattsburg Area Middle school is a nice school. The staff as well as the administration are very nice and are willing to work with you. However, the food quality could be a lot better and at that point they would have received five stars from me. Another thing that could be improved would be parent involvement. Parents can barely do anything with their children or be involved with any school activities whether those activities are after school or during school hours. Academics are not making any students fall behind by any means. Overall, Wattsburg Area Middle School is a very good school and I would highly suggest it to anyone looking to transfer schools in the area.... Read 1 review

Alum: Bethel Christian School served me well in the 9 years that I was there. The teachers were well versed in the certain subjects that they taught. The office staff and administration were very helpful with any needs that I might have had and to make the school year fun and exciting. And to this day I am still friends with the people I graduated with... Read 5 reviews

Alum: One thing that I love the most about Perseus House Charter School of Excellence is the diversity. Perseus Charter School of Excellence is a melting pot that is rich with many different cultures. Aside from all of the wonderful aspects of Perseus House, I would love for the school to have better funding and have a wider range of academics and clubs.... Read 12 reviews

Niche User: Nothing but great experiences from this High School setting. What made Strong Vincent High School so unique was its diversity and history. Throughout my 4 years of attending, I met so many friends who were foreign exchange students. The school made them feel at home, and If i could I would attend all over again.... Read 94 reviews

Parent: My daughter has attended Leadership Christian Academy since Kindergarten and has just finished her 8th grade year. No school is perfect, but this is as close as one could ever expect! The staff is full of amazing dedicated Christians committed to (1) teaching students in a spirit of academic excellence and with a Biblical worldview, (2) meeting your child right where he or she is at, (3) building leadership training into everything from even simple activities to serving monthly in local missions, (3) shepherding your child's heart while preparing them to stand firm on their faith, and (4) employing a growth mindset which is a grace mandate! From the chapels, leadership virtue guest speaker series, hands-on learning approach, adventures outside of the classroom to your student being a mentor and a mentee, learning effective public speaking and developing interpersonal relationship skills, LCA delivers. If you're looking for a Christian leadership academy, look no further.... Read 24 reviews
