I attended Guth as a young girl in the 90's some of my best memories where formed there. I remember the staff being so full of life and character, although many have now gone on to retire. I thank my lucky stars I was able to attend Guth as a youngster. They had such wonderful programs that really taught the students to appreciate life. I still think back to those days and really appreciate the extra activities and assemblies that were freely given to us, because those are the things I will forever keep in my heart. You will not regret sending you children here.

My child is not having a great experience at South. The staff does little when harassment is reported, and my child was singled out and harassed repeatedly by staff and admin over refusal of math support services in lieu of a private tutor. At this writing, they are focused more on how well the students "perform" -(I am quoting one teacher's words) and not enough on how well they learn. We find the atmosphere to be a very stressful, chaotic one-and the students are belligerent and defensive. We have found that the creative arts departments are decent-for all the cuts in funding-but my child is looking forward to HS-hoping we will have a better overall atmosphere and learning experience.

My experience at Pennridge High School has been traumatic; the students are given few rules, which causes them to misbehave and destroy what rewards they are given; I've had teachers be extremely disrespectful and give me strange and unfitting punishments like placing me with students who harass me, the administrative staff is uncooperative and have little respect for their students. The counselors do not help the students that ask for it, and the principals befriend the kids who cause the most problems, leaving those harassed to continue being so. Do not choose Pennridge if you want your child in a safe space; they do not care.
