One thing I can appreciate at Penncrest is that the teachers here care about their students a lot, and wish to see them succeed far in life. Even when suffering with social anxiety, I was able to ask for help from the teachers I have and advocate for myself. I think I was able to succeed in my classes and get a high GPA was because of them and there support. The only bad thing about Penncrest is maybe the new system, minga, but even then I don't mind it much.

The things I love most are that the teachers are happy and willing to help whenever it is needed and everything they teach us helps to prepare us for college. What bothers me is that students aren't disciplined properly if they are found doing something against school rules, it bothers me to no end. Overall, it's a pretty good school.
4/28/2023
My favorite thing about Penncrest High School was how much a majority of the teachers actually cared about our education. Of course there are others who do the bare minimum or don't care about the students education but overall it was a very fun experience. The art department is especially amazing.

Both of my kids have gone through all RTMSD schools from kindergarten on (Media, SLMS, and PHS). They have thrived with excellent teachers and staff, challenging classes, phenomenal extracurricular activities especially for theater, and a good group of kids for friends. It’s a close knit community w...

My child was bullied relentlessly at this school. The staff ignored it. The anti-bullying posters and assemblies they have are laughable, as the staff does not care about the safety of the students. If your child is not "popular", then the principal and guidance counselor don't care. They protect th...

My friend and I got bullied here and they didn’t do a thing about it. We reported it to the guidance counselor and even the vice principal and they did nothing. I told another student about it and they told me that the staff would not doing anything unless it got physical. Also numerous things happe...
