My experience at Allentown High School has been an overly positive experience. The school is filled with great people who are a joy to be around. With faculty and teachers who dedicate themselves to delivering an overall positive experience. Making sure that every student is given an equal shot and presents them with the opportunity to express themselves. The school has multiple activities and sports that the students can get involved in. I have done cross country and track for my 4 years here. As well as participating in the band. But the experience wasn't always positive. For awhile the food quality was quite low and it overall just wasn't good. The school did fix this at the end of my Junior year but prior to that it wasn't great. The school has also dealt with building issues as some of the school has been unfit to be in. This was again fixed but for a short while it wasn't ideal

Bathrooms are disgusting and they only have the smallest and one of the older bathroom open all periods which is unreasonable. Some wings of the school is dated. Most teachers are helpful and engaging, but some are unhelpful. Guidance office is very helpful and supportive

The ASL teacher disrespected the entire class talking about how she didn’t like us-I overheard when she didn’t mute. Sadly bullying and especially racist students in multiple classes. Cool how this school had the ASL class option. Good math teachers, but the platform math IXL is for certain painful.

The guidance department has been extremely helpful in the college process, which is overwhelming and confusing. I feel the school is pro...

My son attends the HS. This school has many programs and opportunities for all students if they want to participate in them. The teachers are friendly but for the most part are strict, trying to students be responsible for their own work and attendance. Accountability is huge. There will be times as...
