1 Districts with the Best Teachers in Pennsylvania
Alum: Tredyffrin-Easttown School District is one of the best schools in the area. As a child, I attended a private school, a parochial school, and a public school. The experience with T/E public schools surpassed the other institutions by far. The students have access to some of best teachers and learning materials, and the amount of support given to students by staff is incredible. This district is rated highly in my opinion.

Mt. Lebanon School District
School District
Pittsburgh, PA
24
2 Districts with the Best Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: As a student who attends Mt. Lebanon, I can personally attest to how great the academic opportunities offered are. The STEM program in particular is amazing as it gives students opportunities to shadow in different fields, listen to speakers, or participate in competitions. Many people say that “college is what you make of it,” and the same can be said for Mt. Lebanon. Many students go through the school district without participating in any of the academic programs, clubs, or sports, but many other students fully take advantage of the opportunties. The students that do receive a much richer and fuller education. My biggest complaint about the school is the lack of socioeconomic diversity. Particularly, I find it frustrating during English classes when discussing because majority of the school is white, upper middle class. This lack of diversity causes a lack of perspective for students.

4 Districts with the Best Teachers in Pennsylvania
Alum: North Allegheny is a great school not just academically but athletically as well. I never had a teacher who I disliked, and they were always there to support me and help me to be successful. I truly am blessed to have gone to such an amazing school district! It is in a very safe area, has great staff members, and challenging curriculum that has helped prepare me so much for the real world! If anything could be changed about NA, it would be to have more space, or expand on the high schools because there are so many students and not enough space.

Alum: The teachers truly care about the students' well being and education. The school environment feels safe and open, because of the teacher and administration's efforts to accommodate all students. This is applicable in all of the schools that I attended. Indian Lane Elementary School, Springton Lake Middle School, and Penncrest High School all brought outstanding school experiences. My Junior and Senior year, a grant was established to give the students ipads. This was an extremely privileged situation that the experience.

Lower Merion School District
School District
Ardmore, PA

9 Districts with the Best Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: What I like about Lower Merion School District is that they follow a strict curriculum which each school is included in. They have certain days that students are allowed off such as holidays and breaks such as winter break. Lower Merion School District is also aware of the danger of students traveling in weather such as snow. not only do they pay attention to the students situations with coming to school, but also going home. One thing that I would like to see change about the school district is the diversity. I would like to see more African Americans in the community. I would also like the schools in this district to be able to come together and do things together. Although we are not in the same interact as certain schools, I would like to see the schools do more together.

Quaker Valley School District

11 Districts with the Best Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: My experience with the Quaker Valley School District has only taken place from my sophomore year to my senior year. During this time, I have been able to witness some of the culture and personality surrounding Quaker Valley HS. The courses themselves are challenging in a way that holds students to a higher standard. The teachers, from what I have seen, are passionate about their lessons and are willing to help students in whatever ways possible, to an extent. However, even Quaker Valley has its flaws. My younger brother is currently a fifth grader going to Osbourne Elementary, one of the two Elementary schools within the Quaker Valley District. In the time that he's attended Osbourne, he has been repeatedly bullied, and even after our family reported this, very little was done about the incidents, discipline or prevention-wise.

Hampton also connects with parents and family members very easily and on an individual basis. Everyone is made to feel comfortable no matter what.

Many AP teachers are very qualified and prepare students well for the exams. There were many clubs to choose from and if you didn't find any to your liking you could easily start your own! The faculty sometimes hindered the experience for some students, but overall I enjoy my time at Haverford!

Senior: Overall, Unionville offers excellent education with plenty of options. Socially, there is a lot of pressure to take high-level classes, but that could be beneficial in some ways. Sports are very important at Unionville, but the Marching Band does not get many opportunities that other schools offer their Marching Bands (such as practice space/time, and funding). Activities in general are extremely expensive, but offer fantastic opportunities. Parking passes are extremely limited and outrageously priced.

Parent: The resources, facilities and faculty are consistently top notch across the board. The curriculum is challenging yet creative. Students are not only taught facts and methods necessary to thrive in college; the administration and faculty ensure students have every opportunity to embrace their passions, maximize their ability to use logic and reason, be objective & open minded and to reject apathy and bigotry. They are taught the requisite skills to succeed at college and beyond - to be responsible, thoughtful, well rounded, driven, rational and productive adults.

Senior: I really enjoyed the focus on academics at Fairview. The administration and faculty push heavily for every student to succeed. Teachers are very good on the whole, and sports teams bring many students together. One problem with Fairview is trying to be a perfect school. At times, there is an overabundance of pushing students into STEM fields with little mention for other career paths. On the whole, Fairview is an excellent district, graduating students that have the capacity to be successful in whatever they choose to do.

The list never ends, from lacrosse all the way to robotics club.

Senior: I really love my school district however this year marks the third year in a row that our administration and teachers have been unable to reach an agreement with regards to teacher union contracts which has caused various strikes, teacher ambivalence and a decrease in the quality of the overall experience. It is disenchanting as a student that educated adults cannot reach a common ground. It has definitely and unfortunately negatively affected students. It has however, taught me a very good lesson and that is to pursue my goals in spite of adversity.

It is considered to be one of America’s most challenging high schools, so there is always a drive and initiative for students to be the absolute best they can do. We excel in both sports and academics, making Wyomissing students motivated and hard working. The over all atmosphere is very ositive and I hope my children are able to have the same experience I had while attending Wyomissing Area Junior/ Senior Highschool.

The teachers had faith in each student and spent as much time as possible helping them. It was such a positive atmosphere. The principle was the best. He respected each student always saying hello to each student in the halls. I would say he even knew most of the students by name! So glad I moved to this district!

Senior: Abington offers many academic opportunities from AP art classes to hearty bands, orchestras, and choirs, to extensive science and history class opportunities. Overall, course options are well-rounded, and teachers do their jobs well. Abington fields many sports teams, both men’s and women’s, and frequently reach district or state competition levels. Elementary schools have some issues with managing student behavior, but the junior high and high school squash issues as quickly as possible. Guidance counselors strive to help their students find a match college and work to help students access desired classes and succeed in daily life. The senior high building is old, but will be renovated starting in 2019. Parents are involved in elementary schools, and as students grow to the junior high and high school, students take over many responsibilities like leading clubs and activities and communicating with teachers. Most students leave Abington prepared for a future of their choice.

Villa Maria Academy High School

Niche User: Attending Villa Maria was one of the best decisions I could have made, and I wish I could go back. I came into college feeling extremely prepared, and I very quickly realized just how great of a job Villa did in prepping me for college. I was able to succeed in my classes from the start, whereas many of my peers who did not have as strong of foundation struggled. Villa made me into the person I am today. The school taught me to never second guess myself. The school helps form independent and strong women by empowering them to engage in class discussions, teaching them how to succeed in college and beyond, and giving them many opportunities to lead. The sense of community and family at Villa is something I have never experienced before. Each faculty member, staff member, and student at the school cares so deeply for one another. All want to see everyone at the school succeed and work to make that happen. The school pride seen at Pep Rallies, games, plays, performances, etc. is unreal and extremely touching. The traditions at the school not only link the students and alum, but they are also extremely fun! The school races robot pigs, classes sing songs to one another, the girls dress up for Halloween, and the Pep Rallies are always an event! There are more sentimental traditions as well, such as Daisy Chain when the Juniors officially become seniors, Carol and Ring when the girls are given their class rings, and Big/Little events in which the girls are assigned a "Big Sister" upperclassmen! I am so proud to be a Villa Marian for copious reasons. If I could, I would do it all over again!

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.
