The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Pennsauken High was a fun experience with sports and school trips and dances. The academics were a good challenge for any student. The food definitely could have been better but the school stayed up to date with majority of it for students and resources.

After a long 4 years in this High School, this school isn't as bad as people may think of it. The best part of my experience in Pennsauken High school is me having relationships with teachers and students and being able to talk to them without having to worry about anything. The worse part of my experience here would be that some classes are very boring and it would cause my grade to drop.

Pennsauken High school is a great school when it comes to the academic community and Athletics. I haven't connected with a lot of teachers but what I can say is that the teachers in the CTE field are very supportive and amazing. They really push their students and help them get to where they want and need to be. The clubs are also very welcoming and fun, it's very diverse as well so you'll automatically feel at home and find your space within these walls.

I worked one year here, and generally speaking, this school is a stinking dumpster fire. There are several really great teachers, but they receive zero support from administration. Eight out of ten kids I taught, were at least 3 years below grade level, and 9 out of 10 spent all day playing on $1000...
