Penn Cambria Middle and High school are the most terrible schools I've ever been to in my whole life!I have been to many different schools in my life time, moved school to school for years and have never met such a lousy group of administrators! Money put into school accounts sometimes just seem to go "missing", the school is never heated in the winter, and bullying is at an all time high. At my time of being in Pennn Cambria (I graduated a few years ago) I managed to only meet 6 good teachers, the rest seemed to hate where they work. Even some told us students they hated the school. The middle school was just awful, the dean of students would tell you to your face he hated you, and would lie to parents to get their children in trouble. If he thought someon had a phone he would make them shake their pockets out in front of the whole class and give them a suspension if they refused.One thing that disgusted me the most about Penn Cambria is the amount of favoritism. You bet if you were related to anyone who works at the school you could go to school in a mini skirt and a crop top and not one person would bat an eye. If you weren't related, rich or popular you were treated like utter junk. The vice principle of the high school had a habbit of disobeying IEPs, would then call the student a liar when they would point it out to their parents. People will bring cigarets in school, and if you were one of the people he liked he wouldn't do anything! A girl was caught smoking in the school bathrooms and he gave her gum!!! The middle school though is far worse than the high school. The guidance counselor would let her daughter who attended the school get away with murder! She graduated every class with an A, but failed every test she ever got. I sat next to her, she would always try to copy me. She never turned in homework, and would smack girls in the face. We are told we aren't aloud piercings, and it's in the rule book. But girls wear nose rings to school all the time, and only select girls get into trouble. They pick and choose.My advice is, do not send your kid to Penn Cambria.

Three-story building. Teachers are fine but policies are very poor, especially for special needs children. Keep a very close eye and ear on what's going on with your child in this facility,

Some of the teachers are disrespectful towards the students!
