Senior: The removal of the gifted system is disgraceful and does nothing but hurt future generations of children. However, teachers are mostly quite positive and actually a good resource, despite their low wages and seeming disregard from the administration. Higher level learning is rejected, including difficult math course which some of the teachers have no business teaching if the district truly aims to expand the students' knowledge. Art facilities are underfunded with too much money going towards a new baseball stadium rather than a majority of the children's education.... Read 269 reviews

Junior: Plymouth Whitemarsh is an absolutely amazing school. They provide so many resources and opportunities for their students, and they are always actively trying to better the school environment. The students have many opportunities to choice their opinions if they want something changed in the school. The school also has many events to promote the culture and get the students involved. The staff are very kind and passionate about teaching. The curriculum leaves a lot of room for students to grow academically, and also for students to customize their learning experience for them. There is a wide range of electives, so students can pursue classes that are specific to their career path. There is also services and programs to help students figure out career and college pathways. Overall, PW has a strong culture and the students are proud to go to a school as great as ours. P What? P Dub!... Read 375 reviews

Middle School Student: The school is great! Some of the kids are not the best, but the teachers are great! The environment and school is really clean and comfortable. Some of the kids are leaving overexerted reviews because they don't like one teacher and are blaming and shaming the entire school for it. The school is amazing and don't pay attention to their reviews.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: They have a no tolerance for bullying. They teach reading very well. They do need a different method for teaching math to the students. The teachers there genuinely wants to see their students do well and care. This school will push your child to do their best. With the help and support of the parents I think the school can excel....

Parent: I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Musselman. The staff members are incredible, especially Mrs. Fox and the principal Ms. Cole. They were so understanding and took time to accommodate our needs to better assist our child. I really liked the fact that our five year old only went to school with other kindergartners. He was able to learn the process of school as a whole with only children his age; including bus riding, purchasing lunch and even walking the halls. I felt much safer with that aspect. He was legitimately writing paragraphs and reading by the end of the year. Not only that, but there were many occassions for the children to learn from- a field trip, science fair, concerts and a prom. Huge thank you to the entire staff!... Read 1 review
