Alum: The school had great teachers, programs and athletics to allow students an opportunity to excel in all facets of education. Whether academically, athletically or through clubs and special interests there was a way for everyone to succeed. Teachers were empathetic and took on a role as mentors and coaches and were dedicated to helping students succeed.... Read 27 reviews

Junior: Wilson School District is excellent in terms of resources and opportunities. Truly, the amount of available classes and extracurriculars is astonishing and has helped me grow as a person in learning what I want to do and who I want to be. However, Wilson High School is split into two buildings which becomes a safety concern when looking at the growing numbers of school shootings on the rise. Just recently, there was a call about a reported shooting, which ended up being a hoax but still caused immense fear among students, teachers, and parents. There are plans to renovate and implement more safety measures, but improvements should be put in place sooner rather than later.... Read 104 reviews

Senior: Overall I feel that my experience was a positive one. I thoroughly enjoyed school activities such as sports, club events, school dances, and fundraisers. Having the ability to participate in these made my high school experience complete. I also feel that the academics were challenging and most courses have prepared me for my future education. I also learned to advocate for my learning throughout high school. Resources were available, but we had to initiate them. I had a very fortunate and educational experience in high school....

Senior: I believe Exeter Township is what every community/school system should look like. The people of Exeter pride themselves in their hard work everywhere, not just in the classrooms, or on the field. We all help each other be better regardless of are surroundings. When you're a part of the Exeter family you will truly see and feel what it's like to always have someone there for you to pick you up when you're down. Adding on to the fantastic resume of Exeter our athletics program run by Tom Legath is outstanding. Being known for are dominant football team legendary Exeter teams are going unnoticed such as, cross country, boys basketball, and all of our aquatics programs are unstoppable. With such a great atmosphere surrounding our athletes we are setting them up to be great and to bring more greatness back to Exeter.... Read 97 reviews

Senior: I believe Schuylkill Valley is a very great school. This school has provided me with many experiences and opportunities that I may not have been able to get at other schools. Schuylkill Valley is a smaller school district and all three schools are on the same land. I love going to a small school. It has benefit me greatly. I am able to have one-on-one relationships with my teachers. With the many clubs and activities, it is easy to get involved and lead in those activities. I am grateful to be given the opportunities to join clubs and get the chance to take on a higher role in those clubs. In high school, there can be many negatives and tough times. There is always a person to help when in need. The only change I would like is for the bettering of sports coaches. There are amazing coaches in the district and not so amazing coaches. I think those bad coaches could take some tips from the amazing coaches. Overall, my experience at Schuylkill Valley has allowed me to thrive and grow.... Read 64 reviews

Senior: I love Governor Mifflin high school. The school has exponential resources that have prepared me for college more than I could have imagined. From my school counselors to our Career and College Access Counselor. We have done preparation for SATS, Ap tests, reviewed college applications, and college tours, and more. I could not be any more prepared than I am. The worst experience at Governor Mifflin high school is the lack of school spirit. Our student government puts in so much work for spirit days, events, and more but the students just don't want to seem to get involved. I would love to see a change in dynamics at the school over the next few years and make it enjoyable for future classes that will walk through that high school.... Read 72 reviews

Junior: Fleetwood area High School has been increasing its resources availability to the students. Like for example, they had given every students a laptop and allowed them to take virtual classes. Most of the teachers are very flexible and they are willing to help to run or create clubs. The negative part is thr impact Covid had on the students. Like ever since Covid, the behavior has gotten worse and worse every year.... Read 55 reviews

Senior: Conrad Weiser is one of the best schools in Pennsylvania. As I enter my senior year, I have to say that I adore this high school. The modest enrollment is to our benefit in terms of academics and extracurriculars. Both the teachers and the computers are great resources. Despite the occasional fighting betwixt students, we are proud of our music program and flourish there. I am happy to call this school my own and wouldn't consider going to any other. It has a stringent anti-bullying policy that ensures pupils are not bullied, which improves the environment. There are many students from many ethnic backgrounds, and there is a lot of variety. Depending on your interests, there are a variety of classes available for you to enroll in. Because of the small of the classrooms and the commitment of the teacher, I really thrive with the personal instruction I receive. I wouldn't want to attend any other Pennsylvania school; this one is a real experience.... Read 64 reviews

Senior: I would say Brandywine is a safe school to partake in. To add, all the teachers that are currently teaching in the school building, are all nice people who teach to make students pass and learn everything that is needed of them. However, there are some instances where the school has bullying, but that does not apply to me. I would like to see the school participate in better helping the environment/community and getting better cafeteria food.... Read 34 reviews

Alum: I graduated from Daniel Boone ASD in 2019, my experience there was unmatched. Daniel Boone employs teachers who genuinely care about the well being of their students, the curriculum was challenging enough to prepare me for my education at PSU, all the while providing a safe space for social growth with a multitude of extra curricular activities allowing every student to find something that suits their interests....

Senior: Antietam is a very small school, with a small school you get lost of opportunities to be involved in anything and everything you want. We have a very strong community that is very involved. Our school has flooded this summer, we lost everything. Our entire Middle Senior High building is destroyed and with only school starting in 7 weeks, the administration had to come up with a plan. They were able to figure something out that would work for all grades. With this flooding, we saw so many people come together and help each other. We saw a change in our community, after this massive loss. Though it is a small school and we have many opportunities, I would love to see better communication between the administrators and the community. We have many instances and issues that were cause by poor communication. Other than bad communication, I love Antietam and would not want to be anywhere else!... Read 17 reviews

Junior: Ever since I was little, this has been my home district. The activities, friends, education, teachers, conference nights, everything really was amazing! However, there were some downfalls, such as the violence. On the news, I would see the deep crowd of violence and the youth wilding out! The violence in the district did not faze me, I still loved this school and district no matter what. However, my parents thought otherwise. I left the district for a while but begged to come back. Additionally, I saw the effort the district puts in so I decided to come back and add to the community. The school district is good and there are flaws, but it is a great place to be developed....
