2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAllen High School is probably the worst school in Pennsylvania. It is extremely dirty, white powder covers every inch of it. The teachers are terrible, either very incompetent or completely unreasonable. The school itself is just a maze of buildings built ontop of each other after a century and a half.Student Review6y ago
