1 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: This school is full of great people! Students are friendly, and hardworking, and the teachers are some of the best! Food is meh, the school itself is a bit too small, and old. Only 2 levels, with 2 courtyards, and parking lot is only large enough for staff, and three quarters of the seniors...

Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely recommend!

2 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Alum: Harriton was an incredibly academically competitive school with a beautiful campus and amazing teachers and resources! The competitiveness is just because everyone expects the best from you and wants you to excel to the best of your abilities. There are a million clubs, sports, and activities to join into as well. The people are always willing to help and the teachers are genuinely some of the best I have ever had in my life. They are willing to help you out academically, socially, and mentally and emotionally.

3 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: I started going to North Allegheny in 9th grade, and I have had a positive experience throughout the past four years. I believe North Allegheny has created an education program that engages the interest of students so that they want to learn. The teachers are passionate about what they teach, making challenging classes fun. My junior year I took Honors Anatomy and Physiology, which was more like an AP level course. It was the most difficult class I have taken, but ended up being the class I loved the most. There is not much I would change about my school, except it would also be nice if the were more windows in the building.

4 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: The academics at Radnor High School are superb! The extracurricular activities such as the music department and the sports teams (which I’m involved in) have also been the highlights of my years there. There are lot of fun traitions like LM week, but the school needs to work on inclusivity and having a more welcoming atmosphere for newcomers. I have some friends that are new that are finding it hard to adjust because people are not that willing to be friendly.

5 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Alum: Overall my experience with Upper St. Clair High school was very good. I participated in the International Baccalaureate program and I believe that the classes I took through said program not only prepared me very well for my college courses but they also expanded my perspective on many things. For example, my IB English class was a two year course and throughout my time in that class I not only was able to study and analyze traditional English works, but we also studied a handful of translated works. This broadened my understanding of multiple different cultures and literature styles that I would not have had the opportunity to explore in a normal English class. I believe my exposure to this curriculum broadened my worldly knowledge in a way that a normal high school curriculum would not have, and I truly cherish that.

7 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Alum: Great classes, large variety of A.P classes to take. Teachers are very prepared for classes and truely want to teach the students and help them succeed. The building for the students was recently updated and is stunning and immaculate. There are many electives available from Computer graphics to cooking for the students to choose from to help prepare them for college and life. The block scheduling was an improvement on the previous schedule. The only downside to my time there was the swipe system and the ongoing construction which was disturbing to the classroom environments for the students and the swipe system was and unnecessary hastle for the students and teachers alike.

Parent: Mt. Lebanon Sr. High School offers excellent academic challenges and incredible support of the arts. The majority of teachers are invested in their students' achievements, beyond the emphasis on test scores. I have no doubt that my kids will be ready for college! The lack of diversity in the student body, staff and administration is troubling.

10 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: Wissahickon High School is an all-around excellent high school in terms of academics. The teachers, classes, curriculum, etc. are all top-notch and have been known statewide, and even nationwide, for efficiently preparing their students for college. However, the school does have some downsides. For one, despite adding a brand new pool, some parts of the school are in bad physical shape. Wissahickon often has problems with poorly-kept bathrooms, cockroaches, and even sometimes rats in the hallways. On top of that, the overall school spirit of Wissahickon is often seen as poor as well. Those two aspects notwithstanding, though, Wissahickon is a good-quality institution.

Penncrest High School

12 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Alum: I think that the High School had great teachers especially in the science and math department! There are also plenty of wonderful teachers in other departments as well! There should be more encouragement and congratulations for the academic teams for their hard work. If you are an athlete, prepare for some hardcore competition. The 10-12 guidance counselors didn't do their job they way they should have. I wish they got the students started with college opportunities earlier. They should encourage the students to strive higher than just the "okay" colleges and universities that are in the area. The students should be helped and encouraged to take classes at colleges during high school even during the summer! There are plenty of things Penncrest needs to improve on, especially the guidance department, but this school got me ready for college and I am happy to say I am a Penncrest alum!

Senior: Garnet Valley is a great school. But, what I love the most about it is that this school is a place where everyone can come together and not be afraid of who they are and they can be whoever they want to be. Not always fitting in is hard, but at Garnet Valley, I feel safe and I feel very excepted by everyone, not only teachers. Also, the staff at Garnet Valley is amazing and helps you to become the best student you can possibly be. They love having you around and they don't see it as a burden to help you with whatever you need help with.

Senior: Masterman has many strong qualities, especially college readiness. Not only is it very common to develop awesome relationships with teachers, but these relationships help to define your college application process. Teachers are very supportive in offering advice, recommendation letters, guidance or even just being an ear to listen to you vent. A lot of our classes are challenging but we have amazing teachers that always make time for fun. Masterman is a place for those who like to work hard and play hard! Also, our small student body makes it so that everyone is connected and it feels like one big family (through the good, the bad and the ugly of course).

Junior: Unionville needs more student spirit. They force the students into activities such as the lip dub and additional spirit rallies, but they lower our excitement. Also, there is poor diversity and food. All the food is overpriced. But, the academics at Unionville are unrivaled, and there is a variety of Honors and AP classes to take. The library/librarians are also very helpful and full of resources. However, there is a lack of funding towards music/theater/musical, partially because of the emphasis on sports at Unionville. Administration is okay, as there are some that are good, and some that are bad. The teachers at Unionville overall are great, especially the science teachers. Unionville is unparalleled in academics, but needs more diversity and culture.

Senior: I’ve had a good experience here despite some issues with bureaucracy. There’s a lot of bragging about how good our school is, but there is some lack in focus on the arts part of education. Although the academics is basically unrivaled and the athletics are moderately strong as well, the school fails to provide enough options for artistic students, nor enough time whether it is music, art, photography, drama, or anything of the sort. A lack of diversity also hits when you see a sea of mostly middle to upper-class white kids.

I am thankful that this school has shaped me into the person I am today.

Senior: Alright school, most of the teachers I have had have been pretty decient. The academics are tough but I feel very college ready with the classes I have taken. Not a lot of AP classes, but I think that is changing in the future. Administration can be a bit terrible sometimes when it comes to bullying, but I feel like all schools are like that. Sports are good, our football team doesn't achieve much but our track and swim team is one of the best in the state. I do with this school payed more attention to the arts, though. Many talented students do not get enough credit for what they achieve outside of the classroom, such as theatre, art, and band.

Senior: Council Rock High School South's academic programs are amazing!

However, many of South's students are arrogant and privileged. Because of this, both North and South have a problem with bullying.

Senior: Haverford High is a very nice school to learn at, almost all of the teachers are very kind, understanding, and good at what they do. They also almost all offer after school times that you can ask for help if you are struggling in a subject. Haverford also offers a wide variety of sports and clubs, so everyone can find an extracurricular activity that they enjoy. Unfortunately a lot of emphasis is put on the football team and achievements from other clubs or sports is often undershadowed, but I wouldn’t necessarily say this is the administrations fault.

Middle School Student: Academics are very good. Diversity could be improved. Teachers are wonderful. We have plenty of security guards to keep us safe. The school works very hard to create a open and welcoming environment. Sports are good but not great, the coaches are not very educated in the sports they coach. The food selection is very wide and it is good quality and healthy, however it is VERY overpriced (chicken and pasta was $9.25) Facilities could use improvement. In old buildings heat and air conditioning is poor and bathrooms are disgusting.

Parent: I am the mother of a pre-primary student who is in his second year at NFA. Our son is in a small class with an exceptional teacher. The classroom is warm and loving. The physical space is full of light and learning tools. NFA educates the whole child: with his teacher's support and guidance, my son has excelled both socially and academically. My son has forged strong relationships with faculty members and school friends. Since beginning at Norwood, he has grown so much in how he expresses his feelings as well as how he navigates friendships and interpersonal conflicts. Simultaneously, he has found his footing academically - impressing me daily with what he has learned and how enthusiastic he is to have learned it. The teacher uses technology to stay in touch with parents and keep us apprised of what is going on in the classroom each day: she organizes learning centers that deliver instruction in such a creative and fun way! I know he will be extremely well prepared for kindergarten.
