I have been a student for two years and have thoroughly enjoyed being at TPS, however i don't like how difficult it is to be accepted into honors/AP classes when they're level isn't drastically more challenging.

I love that my child had outstanding teachers, resources and received a quality education. However, we did not experience the same with my child's involvement in the XC and Track and Field program. In fact, the upper school head track/XC coach lacked fairness, was degrading and overall did not have my child's best interest in mind. It was as if he had a personal vendetta and did not treat him the same as others. I've never had such an experience with anyone else within the school community.

The level of support any student might need is always available if the student asks for it. P...

I was a boarder at Pennington while my parent's lived overseas. The family atmosphere made the school a second home for me. The teachers truly care about your success and put the student's first. My geometry teacher lived in my building and I would go down to his place during study hall when I didn'...
