5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageComplete nightmare. This school sides with bullys. If you don't have money or status your child will be singled out. My daughter loves school. But it is one thing after the next. My daughter is constantly being singled out and the school is too lazy to actually investigate what happens when being accusatory. I myself was spoken to very condescendingly, the person makes me very uncomfortable, told the school to contact my husband instead. My daughter was told that her punishment was more severe because I hadn't contacted them about a proper punishment. Very unprpfessional.Parent Review3mo ago

"I agree with previous comment. Police always on this street, West Race St. Pottsville, PA. Lots of drugs, in area. People walking up & down street, all hours of the night. Houses are very old, and falling down. Alot of vacant houses. Most Landlords are from out of area, do not care about property, just collecting rent. Majority of residents, do not work. Depressed area. Pottsville School is really good, though. Very few stores, restaurants, need a car; very little public transportation. Streets are in very poor condition & not clean. City has lots of litter. Locals moving out (getting pushed out). Lived here most of my life, watched the place, deteriorate."

"Alot of police activity. Some buildings are run down. Not a great place to live. The schools are ok, not great. Drug activity seems to be high. I would not want to raise my children here. It's okay if your single, or have grown children. Beware of deadbeat landlords."
