GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience over the past few years have been intriguing to say the least. education wise they really make sure to give you all the opportunities to grow and receive knowledge under all circumstances. By reputation its not the safest school and there is always something happening. But they are extremely diverse great advocates for extra curricular actives and more

My experience at Upper Darby High is so far a great one. If you want a school that's diverse and open to everyone, Upper Darby is your school. PA is known to have bad kids, but I think it's because we want respect from anybody. We go by the saying "Respect is earned not giving" even if you're a grown-up.
