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.

Upper Merion is like a bitter sweet memory because, I wish they cared more about the education and less about how they look. I mean yes they got a 100$ Million school but they lack in the power of their education. i want to see very intensive education.

The school is brand new. My graduating class will be the first to graduate from the building. State of the art high school. Teachers are great for the most part. Nice area. Administration is nice and supportive. I enjoyed my classes as well as playing sports throughout the years. I made many friends of which I hope to keep in touch with as we graduate and go in our separate directions. I believe school is what you make of it and you can have a good experience if you wish to. I believe UM prepared us well for life beyond high school.

They are extremely hypocritical and say they care about their students when they do not, as in the summer of 2020, multiple hate accounts were created spewing hate towards certain groups of students. I and a few others att...
