My experience with Senn has been varied. I have received good teaching from most of my advanced classes, have great art teachers as a member of the visual arts program, and have had plenty of info about university readiness. There have also been many fights, and police altercations at my school. The food isn't good, no real vegan options, so I always bring my own. I have had better school culture but overall, this school is okay.

Senn is a unique school in terms of diversity and unique cultural climate yet as a result safety is a concern.

I attended Senn Highschool for my entire Highschool experience and it had amazing moments but the administration is honestly one of the worst. I graduated May, 2023, and from what I have heard and seen, it has not gotten better.

Absolutely atrocious learning environment. Guaranteed to find students smoking in the bathrooms. Teachers and staff are completely disrespectful, rude, and simply do not care about the health and well-being of the students. Only focused on academics.

This school sucks, it needs to be shut down..too many roaches and bad smells, a fight in the lunchroom almost every week, worst staffthought it would be good cause my friends went there too but I was wrong

Could be better for a neighborhood high school. The administration staff is a joke and the teachers simply don't seem to take their students seriously. This school is more concerned about the academics rather then the education or well-being of the student and that's a fact!
1/6/2022
This school is bad, really bad! Please do not put your kids here. The school is huge and has many programs. However the teachers and staff members are rude, very rude! Especially the administration, they don't care. They are very disingenuous and show little to no effort in helping students' needs....
