Overall the education at Pennington is strong. They push kids to do their best and discover their passions while providing them the resources to do so. However there are some social issues regarding administrative biases and the inability to delf audit and evaluate their teachers. It is the opinion and experience of many that there are teachers who should not be teaching anymore, let alone at pennington.

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.

My favorite place I have worked so far. As an alumna, it's great to be back and apart of the community.

The way every teacher actually cares about the students and not just the ones they have in class but all of the students. 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'...
