Pennridge HighSchool was not a great experience for me. The faculty and school district have been in a cultural war on books and staff advocacy and curriculum. The school itself as far as the student body is ok with many different types of backgrounds and financial situations. Overall I am glad to be moving on to college a d away from Pennridge.

The teachers, towards the end of my experience, hated working for the school. It is the lowest-paying in the district. The board has been attempting to change curricula to adapt to religious beliefs, all while being a public school.

Pennridge High School has an impressive staff and students, along with an amazing music and performing Arts program. They are always trying to work towards a better future. It sadly lacks in diversity, though most of the students are caring and kind towards everyone.

They have obnoxious kids. My Grandson was attacked by classmates.....you can't really say classmates. They are terrible due to lack of proper guidance.No Discipline. The Principal turns the other way and all of the students suffer and learn no social skills. So very sad for all.

To put it blunt, Pennridge sucks. It is your typical racist, homophobic white school. There is no real diversity and everything feels fake and out of place. During my senior year, pennridge has not only kicked me out of the palace in Allentown because my mom was 8 minutes late, but they have also de...
