Parent: We switched to Sheridan during the pandemic joining a small community that focused on the safety of our children while limiting the disruption to their education. The administration did a stellar job. What truly stands out is how well rounded a Sheridan education is. In addition to the more traditional academics, its arts and music instruction as well as its focus on diverse communities through the student clubs is truly exceptional. We chose a K-8 school because of the added focus on the middle school years which can be difficult transition years. As the school skews young the older kids don’t grow up too fast. This is a gentle school. Middle school students mentor the lower school students. My son loves his mentor and he looks forward to becoming a mentor to a lower school student himself. Finally, Sheridan is a school that builds confidence. In 7th grade, students lead their own high school selection under the guidance of their teachers. This is incredibly empowering!...

Current Resident: Plymouth Meeting is a small town. For me, it's close to a lot of stores and the highways and turnpike is very close. I would like to raise a family in this community, however, the market to purchase a home in this area is very high. Hopefully with the years to come the market will become more affordable for minorities. Also, the apartment developments are raising the price of living but not upgrading. So, it seems that we as renters are paying for the area rather than our actual home. Hopefully this improves over the next few years, other than these few issues it is a great community and has a lot of opportunity for children to participate in extracurricular activities and grow....

Current Resident: Camp Hill is a cozy, welcoming town that still managed to pack in many lovely people, shops, and opportunities. Any type of store can be found close by- many of them within walking distance. There are many beautiful parks within walking distance as well, and some great hiking locations for those willing to take a short drive. It location is spectacular. When more of a city environment is craved, Camp Hill is a very short drive to cities such as Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg. Its proximity to Harrisburg makes the area very historical, and many historical sites and museums can be found locally. Overall, Camp Hill is a lovely... Read 57 reviews

Current Resident: I had lived my entire life in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. It might sound cliché, but I couldn't imagine living anywhere but this small hometown. I couldn't have asked for a safer neighborhood to live in. Where I work (which is roughly 5 minutes from where I live), I can see the main street lit up with excitement. It is truly beautiful to shop here and people watch all the wonderful couples and families having fun. Whether it be going out to eat or reminiscing on their time together, it's always simply magical. I've never observed any sort of crime here, just the hustle and bustle of lovely people having a fun time. My only issue is the drivers here on this side of Berks County. Outside my neighborhood, however, the drivers coming off of the nearby highways are reckless and are always in a hurry. Despite this, I will deeply miss Wyomissing as I choose to create new and even more exciting memories during my college life in the city of Pittsburgh.... Read 25 reviews
