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).

Springhouse Middle School

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.

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 Weight room seemed outdated 3 years ago when I was there.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.

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.

Alum: I'm a freshman in college now, but I can honestly say that I had no idea how well Southern Lehigh prepared me for the work here. I'm at a top 50 school and in their Honors College, so the work here is demanding. I feel like I've developed all my studying and notetaking skills so well in high school that it doesn't feel like much of a transition. Some of the teachers did give busy work, but for the most part, all of the Honors and AP teachers gave us challenging assignments, somewhat close to the college level. I am really grateful for the education I received in high school because it gave me a terrific foundation.

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.

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.

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.
