PROS:7th grade teachers are niceNot that much hwPopular kids don't get in troubleCONS:Admin does not take reports seriouslyThe food is absolutely vile504s repeatedly violatedThe teachers don't teach well.....................My time at this school has been... interesting. Admin is terrible, just like the rest of North Penn schools. My brand new bag was broken by kids in 7th grade, and I had to threaten Admin with a report for them to actually check footage- they tried to play it off as "boys will be boys". Kids would block me in the halls in 8th grade, and they didn't care until teachers literally couldn't pass because there was a wall of teenage girls interlocking arms and cackling. Of course, we also had the Stanley incident, where someone was sent to the hospital because she was attacked. The girl who'd attacked her had a history of defiance, as she'd just been transferred to PB after being expelled from all other NP middle schools. Kids reported her for threats and concerning behavior, but Admin did nothing. The day of the attack, I'd even heard kids saying that something was going to happen at lunch. Afterwards, they did not provide sufficient help for those traumatized. And whatever you've heard, it's worse. I can't explain the details, but from what I've been told in eyewitness accounts the news does not do justice. I do not trust the Admin to protect me, and I'd advise you don't, too.

My daughter started North Wales elementary during pandemic kindergarten. They did a great job during those uncertain times and really strived to meet all students needs. As she has navigated through socializing and friendships the teachers and school has been responsive and supportive. I feel like she gets a great education and wonderful experiences and opportunities to grow and flourish. My daughter’s only main complaints have been school bus related. There were 2 serious incidents on the bus that the school dealt with quickly and communicated with me about. The only “complaint” I have is that the class sizes are big to me. She is in 3rd grade and has always had at least 25 kids in her class.

It is very hard to have an active social life in this school, especially if you go to NMTCC. The school is so large, I can and have gone days without even seeing my friends. I have become very depressed because of my social isolation, and how uninteresting the classes are. My physical health is suffering due to anxiety and depression, and I'm worried that I may have to look into alternative schooling options if my mental health plummets too far.
