My experience in this high school was okay. I made lots of friends and got to be in school events and clubs. However the academics can be a bit lacking or confusing at times. Most of the teachers are nice and the food is good too. The school does have a problem with traffic in the morning which makes a lot of students late. The administrators do well at communicating with parents and students.

Even though I was only there for 2 years, I was always offered help in places I might have needed it, the staff there are all friendly, the teachers were always there to help and they always felt like they were there with you, never against you, I even received multiple awards based off of some of their recommendations.

I am all about Muhlenberg schools. I have a Special Ed child and a Honor Student in the district and they have been amazing. Not only have my kids gotten a top notch education but the schools have extended themselves to help families in need, mine included.
