GreatSchools Rating
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 love my high school. I have made the most amazing friends here, I have had endless support from my teachers, and I always feel welcome here.

I liked most of my teachers but I didn't like some of the material we learned in health class. I also had a bad experience with sports at pottsgrove. The coaches weren't great. At least for girls lacrosse and girls soccer. I told the principal about some of my concerns about how the school was run and he seemed relatively open to change.
