Pennfield Middle School no longer celebrates students who were able to achieve honour roll. As a special needs student who was there, I was disappointed with the lack of accommodations and it made learning there a really tough and challenging place. Good teachers are able to make harder subjects seem easier, but the teachers there made all the easier subjects difficult to understand.

This school has many positive attributes including a very robust selection of courses, a variety of leveled classes to meet student needs, great teachers, staff and admin that are interested and engaged in the students. Numerous STEAM clubs and extracurricular groups as well as huge variety of sports. It is also very inclusive of the diversity in its student body. Where NP is lacking however is in Special Education, fulfillment and creation of realistic and supportive IEPs. If your kid has learning differences, it is important to educate yourself on PA law around IDEA and FAPE as well as the IEP process. It is also very lacking in an effective management of bullying and implementing top-down positive social emotional programming programming. I cannot completely fault the district on this however as many of the parents are also bullies and teach it to their kids. What I would like to see implemented is a stronger anti-bullying policy with consequences that impact not just the students but inconvenience the parents just enough for them to motivate their child to stop with bullying. Overall a great school which prepares students for whatever path they choose after college with 2 significant caveats that the school district really needs to prioritize.

This school was terrible. The principal who started in 2015 was a coward. He would let his sixth grade math teacher run the school. She was not only a terrible teacher, but she had a horrible attitude as well.
