I am a Marple Alum who went to Worrall as a child. I originally came from a school that did not support my learning disability well. When my family moved to the area, the teachers and learning support specialists immediately recognized my reading comprehension problem and I was pulled time after time from class to attend "Title 1" where I received more one-on-one support with other select students. By the end of my time here, Reading & English became my strongest subject throughout the rest of my academic career and today I've graduated college with honors as an English major. This school truly went above and beyond for me. Teachers such as Mr. Long and Mrs. Dragonetti always supported me when it came to my work and my passions. Many teachers were very creative with school work and projects and I even remember enjoying some of my least favorite subjects. This school is truly one in a million and the sense of community and events they hold for students is amazing. Although I am now in my mid twenties, many of the younger teachers I had are still there or the older teachers retired in the school/district. In addition, the students who went to Worrall who I came across in high school were always kind and had great things to say about the elementary school. I firmly believe this school shapes children into well-rounded, understanding, and confident people. Worrall truly has a special place in my heart.

In my opinion, this school is one of the worst educational environments I have ever experienced. Every day feels like stepping into a building that should have been updated decades ago. It is extremely old, and the age shows everywhere you look. The walls are cracked, the paint is chipped, the classrooms look outdated, and nothing seems to have been replaced or improved in a very long time. Instead of feeling like a place meant for learning, the school feels more like an old museum that has been ignored.Cleanliness is another huge problem. From what I have seen, roaches and other bugs show up far too often. It is not a rare issue. It feels like a problem that the school never fully addresses. Seeing insects in the hallways and classrooms is uncomfortable and distracting. No student should have to sit in class worried about bugs crawling around or appearing on their desk.The cafeteria food is also a major disappointment. The meals often taste low quality and poorly put together. Many students choose to bring their own food because the school lunches just are not worth eating. A school should care about the quality of the food it provides, and this one clearly does not.The equipment and supplies are old and worn out. The desks look like they have been used for years without replacement. The computers barely function. The materials look outdated and overused. Nothing feels modern or properly maintained, and it makes learning a lot harder than it should be.Overall, my honest opinion is that this school is terrible. It needs major renovations, better cleaning, updated materials, improved food, and a real commitment to students. Everyone deserves to learn in a place that feels clean, safe, and well taken care of. This school is far from that.

Absolutely THE WORST high school and school district ever. DO NOT PUT YOUR KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL they will be repeatedly bullied, called racial slurs, and called terrorists. The teachers and administrators are very very biased against students if they like you they pass you if they don’t they fail you. You ALSO get punishments for a made up reason and you don’t get a say in it. If you don’t do the punishment it gets worse for you and put it all in your record. Admins especially at the high school like the principal will abuse their power. The ONLY adults that I respect are the attendance ladies in the main office. They will literally help and do everything for you even if it’s not in their department. Absolute legends!
