9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall, my child had a good experience at NNHS and was prepared very well for the rigors of college in STEM. Socially, there's lots of activities available as one would expect with 2k+ student body and state-of-the-art facilities but bullying and drugs are disturbingly prevalent. The principal is an extreme social justice activist that uses his position to indoctrinate students with his personal beliefs and views.Parent Review1y ago - Peirce Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt's dawning on us now that our Pierce experience is over, and the six years just flew by. This isn't just a school, it's a community - and the school principal and staff make it so. We have been happy with our experience.Parent Review3y ago

"We love our neighborhood! Lots of families, a good mix of different types of people. I have kids in Franklin and we are pleased with our experience with this school. We love being walking distance to Gath Pool and the fireworks on the fourth. West Newton Square is great place to walk for a date night or a Saturday morning movie with the kids. It is a good blend of city and town feel, with a lot of intellectuals, academics, and just super interesting people for neighbors."
