1 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Parent: Conestoga is supportive, inclusive and adaptable to the various levels of their students' needs. Students are offered different levels of courses and can choose the level that best supports their strengths and (weaknesses) courses that they may find more challenging. The counseling and teaching staff are supportive, encouraging and the school has a great infrastructure and resources for students to use for areas of support. They have programs in place that can both challenge students and offer additional support when needed. The school communicates with parents often and teachers and counselors are easily accessible to students when needed. Conestoga also does a great job preparing them for college. They offer AP classes if students want the option. The even offer an SAT prep class as an elective. The course selection and electives are very impressive.

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
Junior: North Allegheny has enriched me with a challenging and honest education. Throughout the years I have been introduced to new courses and opportunities that have shaped me to become a more open minded student. I am incredibly thankful for everything I am offered at my school. One of the things I would like to see change are the comparisons. The entire school is very competitive which creates a very stressful atmosphere. Although come competition is healthy, I feel like I am and others are constantly comparing me to my peers.

Grier School
Private School
Birmingham, PA

Senior: As an all girls boarding school, Grier boosted a positive studying environment and encouraged its students to strive for both rigorous academics and varied extracurriculars as well. I particularly enjoyed the all-girls atmosphere, as it encouraged my participation and gave me a sense of community unparallelled by any co-ed school.

Alum: I enjoyed going to school at Upper St. Clair High School. The teachers cared about your grades and your direction when you graduate. The school is very safe and food in the cafe was excellent with a lot of choices for lunch. Colleges seem to take notice when they hear you're from Upper St. Clair High School and they really want you to attend their colleges/universities. Excellent college readiness.

Senior: Strath Haven has something to offer all students. Overall, the teachers are very good and are interested in what the students are involved in outside of their classroom. The band, sports teams, theater programs and the general arts programs are very strong. When I talked to friends who are in college, they say that Strath Haven prepared them well for college!

Senior: State High is a wonderful school academically; there is something for everyone to enjoy. They have an extensive Career and Technical Center, more class offerings than some colleges, and a beautiful new building. The teachers work well with students and are (for the most part!) easy to get along with. An awesome place to learn!

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.

Wissahickon Senior High School
Wissahickon School District, PA

225
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.

Enough variety to challenge most students. The teachers are knowledgable, dedicated and available. We have incredible sports teams and clubs and a great sense of school spirit. The high school is located in a charming historic town within walking distance to everything. I feel luck to live in a community where the public is so highly regarded!

Penncrest High School
Rose Tree Media School District, PA

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!

13 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
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.

Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy
Erie City School District, PA

14 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: Becoming a student at Collegiate Academy has been one of the most significant events of my life. Coming from an elementary school ranked lowest in the district to the fourth best high school in the state, my educational journey took a sharp turn for the better. Here, I have been able to be taught by incredible teachers and become immersed in an academically competitive yet supportive environment. There are countless opportunities to get involved and determine your own interests. That being said, a student should be willing to tackle the rigorous course load. Advanced Placement classes are not easy, and they are not supposed to be. Collegiate Academy upholds its reputation of a highly ranked high school by supporting a academically challenging course load, so students should be aware of the school's expectations.

They have been offered challenging and exciting electives along with the opportunity to attend technical school to earn college credits while still in high school. I highly recommend Lower Moreland to all families!

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).

Unionville High School

18 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
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.

Alum: I got a very good education from this school! Now, in my first year of college, I am years ahead of most of my peers in study skills, writing skills, and general knowledge, even within the honors program. However, Fairview has gotten a lot more strict with their students to a point beginning to verge on ridiculousness. Students have no free time to socialize with their peers or even walk around the campus to discover new things. Also, the past three faculty that the school has hired have been horrible at teaching and overall horrible with treating their students with respect.

Senior: Over the past thirteen years at South Fayette, I have learned about work ethic, friendship, and how to reach my goals. My school has won several awards including the Blue Ribbon and has been ranked one of the best schools in the nation, but that is not what defines us. South Fayette offers rigorous courses that taught me to never give up, always try my best, and have definitely prepared me for college work. My teachers are impeccable and the staff is friendly and approachable. South Fayette offers an array of clubs, activities, and sports and provides a safe campus environment. I am proud to say I went to school here and will never forget the foundation that built me. My high school has less than 1,000 students, so everyone essentially knows everyone. Because of this, it is more than a school. To me, South Fayette has been a family, a second home, a comfort zone, and an education. I could never ask for a better school experience than what I received at South Fayette.

21 Best Public High School Teachers in Pennsylvania
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! With my brother going to a different school than me, I have had the opportunity to truly observe the academic difference between South and the other schools around it. However, many of South's students are arrogant and privileged. Because of this, both North and South have a problem with bullying.

Alum: My time in high school was a little bit of an "up-and-down" experience. My freshman year was a little bit of a struggle, but after that, the last 3 years of high school were bit of a better scene for me. The academics were phenomenal, the teachers were great, some teachers may be a handful, but they all have ways to get a good grade in their classes. I highly recommend Hampton High School.

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.

The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

Senior: Roanoke Catholic is a school that teaches students belong the classroom and prepares them for either college. In the past years, 100 percent of Catholic seniors have attended college and this year the seniors have received over 2.5 million in scholarships. I started Roanoke Catholic two years ago and it was a big change coming from public school. In public schools you could slide by without doing your homework, but at Roanoke Catholic all work is required and graded as a test grade. Roanoke Catholic does not let you fall through the cracks. I also must say the food is outstanding!!
One thing I really did not like were the uniforms. In public school you basically wore what you want, but not in private school. My first year the gentlemen had to wear a shirt and tie during the winter and in the summer a polo shirt with the school’s logo and khaki pants or shorts. This year they changed the dress code to where gentlemen could wear the polo shirt and khaki pants all year around.
