Fred J. Jaindl Elementary School

• Parkland School District, PA
• K-5
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

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)...Read 1 Review

• Rating 3.87 out of 5  655 reviews

Senior: It is a pretty decent school. If you like the visual and performing arts, the school has a well funded arts department. The academics are challenging enough, and there are multiple class levels. There is a big emphasis on athletics in the school. There are also a lot of electives and clubs to be a part of...Read 655 Reviews

Springhouse Middle School

• Parkland School District, PA
• 6-8
• Rating 4.33 out of 5  3 reviews

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...Read 3 Reviews

Freshman: Overall, my experience at SLMS was very good. I believe that while the classes are informative, I was not prepared sufficiently for high school by the middle school. The teachers are very good as well...Read 4 Reviews

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...Read 3 Reviews

Nazareth Area High School

• Nazareth Area School District, PA

• Rating 3.87 out of 5  303 reviews

Senior: The teachers are excellent, and technology integration is very good. Friendly and open environment as well, with many opportunities available to students. On the flipside, my personal experience with counselors has been middling, and it is difficult to contact them for information and help with issues unless one has scheduled an appointment with them in the office. I've also seen drugs passed around and talked about casually in school, despite campaigns against them. The school has recently been focusing on its athletics program too, and has been pouring money in that direction. We'll see how it goes...Read 303 Reviews

Middle School Student: I've had a very good experience my first year of being a student here, that can mostly be directed back to the teachers. They are very helpful and supportive people, but they're not afraid to enforce rules. This is why I believe I have done so well in this school district...Read 1 Review

Southern Lehigh Senior High School

• Southern Lehigh School District, PA
• 9-12
• Rating 3.58 out of 5  302 reviews

Senior: Through the tumultuous years of my high school career, Southern Lehigh tried their hardest to make the experience as positive as possible. However, there are a few things one should consider before entering the district/school. The policies regarding coronavirus and the resulting closings/education failed to meet the standards of education one should receive and disappointed many students and staff. Southern Lehigh has a largely white population, so if you are expecting diversity, you will not see much of it. Competitive academics and athletics define this school, so be aware of that. Other than that, take advantage of what they have to offer and you'll be set...Read 302 Reviews

Middle School Student: Wilson Area High School really helped me be a better person and taught me how to be better student, be organized, and be patient with everything I do or learn. Wilson really has a great environment. The students and faculty make you feel as if you are family. The teachers are very helpful they helped me a lot through my freshman to senior year of high school. The school never makes you feel like you are out of place or uncomfortable. The principle and the vice principle are really nice and are also very helpful they help you with a lot of things they sometimes check up on you if they see that you are falling behind and they figure out a way or game plan to make sure that you are back on track. The students are also really nice. I think personally that this school really helped me education wise and really encouraged me to get straight A's through all my years of high school...Read 76 Reviews
