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 went to Pottstown my entire highschool career and it was probably the best part of my life so far! Made so many friends and was able to shine as an athlete and my teachers really helped make me a better student!

Honestly, majority of the teachers in this environment truly do care for their students and their success both in the classroom and outside of the classroom. It is also a very diverse environment as well. However, the discipline policies and methods could be slightly stronger, or better.

I met my 6 amazing bestfriends that all play soccer with me. I have had the opportunity to be taught by great teachers who have written me recommendations for college, awards, and more. The environment is friendly and everyone knows eachother because we are small , unlike bigger school districts.

Many students, but not all are disrespectful and see no problem with their actions towards a staff member or student. Many stude...
