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.

Enjoyed the number and variety of clubs, had awesome teachers, and had adequate academic support. Appreciated the emphasis on college and career readiness.

As a current student, I would not necessarily recommend this school district. 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...

Teachers/staff have been great!My child is thriving and learning.I’d go easier on the AP courses though…come on I went to Berkeley and 2 other Universities…an undergrad course is typically not that demanding in college and uni ; ) The best classes are the ones that teach, inspire, and encourage…one...
