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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I went to Pottsgrove since I was in third grade. I graduated from Pottsgrove SHS with a 3.6 GPA but I feel as if the academics did not get me college ready. I felt unprepared when I arrived at college, but the teachers at the school were wonderful. They just taught the curriculum as it was given to them. The administration on the other hand, were awful. They never told us anything or even took our input. Overall, the school is okay but some changes should be made.

I went to a small private Christian school to a big public school, so it was kind of intimidating. The first year there I had a wonderful counselor and a wonderful principal of business teacher. The students are very friendly. I made friend even though I really am not social. The hall monitors are always saying hi and strike up conversations with you even when you feel down. Some teacher care more than others, but I would not change a thing.

I am currently in my 4th year at Pottsgrove High School. The staff there are just wonderful and always ready and eager to help. I enjoy the spirit activities we do to boost morale every once in a while. It's overall a pretty good experience and i'm glad I go here.

I am a parent of two students who attended schools in Pottsgrove their entire careers. Both received academic based college scholarships after graduation - one to a highly selective university. One was an athlete who did well enough to compete at a Division I level in college. It's a diverse group o...
