Niche User: Jaindl Elementary School is a great school! From the academics to the extra-curricular activities, there are no flaws to this school. Plus, if you go above and beyond to school curriculum, you are eligible to take tests such as the jumper math (skip a grade in math), and gifted (go to a class which covers math, LA, creativity, technology, and more).

Parkland High School

Alum: There were nice teachers at this school with the exception of a few. Some worked with you to get the grade you deserved. The school was big but not big enough. Halls were crowded after the bell rang. Some teachers were too strict on late policies. It takes long to get from one class to another. The food and vending machines were mediocre, some of the best were the salads and specialties. School store was cool but I realized that late. Parking lot is a problem. Needs more entrances and exits. Sometimes takes 20 min to leave. School was filled with amenities and technology. Had 2 large pools and many sports fields. Prepared me well for college opposed to other local schools. Weight room seemed outdated 3 years ago when I was there. Teachers were very involved in things, that was a plus! I wish some of the administrators would do more to help students in financial need.

Springhouse Middle School

• Parkland School District, PA
• 6-8

Senior: Springhouse Middle School houses grades sixth through eighth in the Parkland School District. Being that sixth grade students and eighth grade students are very different in maturity both physically and morally, this school did a good job at accommodating that. The sixth grade students are semi-isolated from the other grades so they can adjust to how middle school is. However, one aspect of Springhouse Middle School that I was not as fond of is the team teaching concept. Each year students are placed into a team. Within this team, there is a handful of teachers that teach the students their core classes. Although this is convenient, I feel that it inhibits the students ability to communicate and network with other students that are not in their team.

Emmaus High School

• East Penn School District, PA
• 9-12
• 279

Alum: I was thoroughly involved in Key Club and Habitat for Humanity from my freshman year to senior year. I was committed and went to every meeting. I participated in the annual Art Show, displaying art I had worked on in classes, in May from Freshman year to senior year. What I like about Emmaus High School is that even though it is a big school, I made some amazing teachers and friendships along the way. I am able to keep in contact with a few of my teachers, who expressed how proud they were of me in high school. Graduation at Stabler Arena was a memorable day and I will always take those high school memories with me. If you go to Emmaus, it is one of the top high schools in PA and in the nation. That says a lot! Do cherish those friendships and show your appreciation to the teachers! You won't regret it.

Alum: Academically, very on the ball. However, the staff could be extremely inappropriate towards the students in regards of the dress code or student etiquette. It felt as though there were teachers looking to get students in trouble at times.
