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.

The teaching staff has been absolutely wonderful over my time at Bucks County Technical High School. The school environment I cannot say the same about. There is little to no student involvement in anything and the administration does not give our student body much opportunities to get involved and have any sort of school spirit or fun for that matter.

I love my shop class and feel prepared for real world experiences. I enjoy the rotation of shop and academics. The school offer honors and AP classes. The small class size meets my needs. The only negatives are no sports teams available (have to go to home school to participate), cafeteria food is okay, and sometimes the busses to school run late.

Its a very welcoming environment. The students are nice and the teachers are too. It really helps you prepare for a career straight out if high school and provides you with really good college resources if you plan on going to college.

Great experience, education and head start in life!. So glad we choose BCTHS, my son is a junior. He is on National Honors Society. Although they don't have too much for sports he plays Lacrosse for his home school district, which works out just fine. He has grown into such a well rounded individual...

I graduated from this school in 2011. Some of my fondest memories in my life come from this school. We did a lot of stupid things but learned a lot of important things. I myself had a fun time. There are some days where I wish I could go back. It's a fun place to learn. 80% of the teachers are good...

We are new, but the transition was great! My teen loves the school, teachers & classes offered. This guy is up early, ready & out the door with a smile on his face. Nothing better than a happy teen!
