My experience with this school was pretty bad. The teachers and staff aren't helpful at all when it comes to students being bullied and they'll even side with the bullies and be rude to you if you try to ask for help from them.

The school is very good and organized. However there needs to be a big change with the rise in antisemitism and lack of care and acknowledgment of this issue.Great teachers overall, facilities, clubs and sports.

If you are comparing this school to the Philadelphia SD, this school undoubtedly wins. The teachers generally care and respond to your e-mails, and the resources are there.
