6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall my experience at this school was positive. There is a positive environment with many great people. Unfortunately the school gets a poor reputation from the not so obedient minority. There are some areas that could be improved upon such as the a ratio of required graduating credits. It is odd that science only requires three credits while the other core subjects require four. Science is arguably one of the largest growing fields right now so that should be a more primary focus. There are also limits to what classes are available. For a small school it can be difficult to fill a class with students if it is not required. However AP biology is not available and I do not know if it is possible to take on Bulldog Academy. As for sports, the main sports of our school thrive with highly talented athletes who break records and achieve great things. The selection of sports is smaller than larger schools such as not having volleyball or tennis. This issue is not that big of a deal though. The music department could use a little bit of help. The marching band keeps winning with the little that they have but needs more support in order to gain members. The choir can never hold a director for an extended period of time. The band director works more than anybody could ever imagine. By having two band directors, it would be easier to develop the middle school and high school band separately. Or maybe the extra director could lead an orchestra. Almost every other nearby district has an orchestra and I feel that it could broaden the horizons of students. There are many places to build leadership and teamwork skills. With the variety of clubs open at this school there is no way you can’t find something to join. Recently a computer programming club was developed by a group of students who felt that this should be implemented into the school. The administration is highly supportive of students exploring their options when it comes to hobbies or skills.Student Review6y ago - Slatington El School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is not a safe space, teacher never shows up to school. Staff lets STRANGERS in to talk to children without any parents permission or even knowledge . Principal sticks up for his 23 yr old child teacher than any of the kids in the school . Homeschool your kids this school will ruin them and their spirits for learning.Parent Review11mo ago - Northern Lehigh Middle School
