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.

The time I've spent a landstown highschool has been a journey and my overall experience has been fantastic with all the friends I've made and the environment surrounding me. The cultural diversity at our school is very vast and the people and administration are very helpful with my future. Our academics are also very satisfactory with many great teachers who want to get to know their students. Our school is overall very well developed and holds its students to high standards.

More resources for the Gov school children. Although it looks like they hired a school counselor for the Governor school students

Notably good school, albeit underfunded. STEM academy is trying their best with what they have, but everything could be significantly better with even a couple thousand dollars more in funding. Teachers of AP classes and STEM-related courses such as members of the Science and Math departments are wonderful and will try their best to help you learn and improve where you're struggling.

This school has been going down hill for a while. A lot of teacher are there for a paycheck. They cuss and yell at kids and nothing is done about it. The principal does the same and if a parent is involved she yells at them too. The principal is never involved and very lazy. I hope something changes...

They do the least amount possible, completed assignments go missing to where you have to send physical pictures to show proof of completed assignments, communication with many are non-exsistent, and a multitude of other factors. I would steer away from this school completely. Go to Salem High.

I’ve had 2 daughters graduate from Landstown. Both were challenge academically by their teachers and pushed to become more than just a name or number on a sheet of paper. They both had teachers that had profound impacts in their lives which they still talk about today. Both of my girls are studying...
