My overall experience in Philadelphia high school for girls was okay. On one hand there were instances of teachers boarder line bulling kids and making inappropriate comments on kids clothing. On the other had at certain points in the year the atmosphere of the school was very positive and great to be apart of these. including school sports, school pride days and any days surrounding talent shows or celebrations surrounding cultures.

My experience at Girls High School was quite an interesting. Girls High School has prepared for different aspects that's I didn't think were possible. My best experience at Girls High School was the school events, even single Girls High School event. My worst experience was the horrible situations that took place at the school that ended up on the news and in news articles.

The Principal needs to learn good manners and values such as patience, tolerance and sympathy.Students of this school need a good leader, and an excellent role model to follow and learn from.

The “staff” needs be taught a lesson. The fact that the graduates can not be excited or show emotion is down right deplorable. You should be ashamed of yourselves!
