In my 6 years attending Tulpehocken Junior Senior High School I would say I had a great experience. I had memorable sports years. I would like to see some of the staff be more involved with what is going on in the classroom.

Generally small class sizes, rural setting, not sports heavy - actually a GOOD thing. Existing sports programs are good. The science program could be stronger, arts programs are excellent. My children had no problems being accepted for admission at numerous state and private universities.
