Teachers could be better. I have purposely avoided certain classes due to bad teachers. Some don't care much about the students' understandings of a topic and move on to the next anyway.

I think Upper Moreland High School is an okay school, the administration isnt the best though, I think they really need to work on their admin team. The teachers foer the most part are amazing and helpful.

Best Marching Band and Color Guard in the State. Most students are in the Music and Arts. Our Choir is one of the best in the area. Our Choir is 73 kids and increasing 10 a year. This school is usually 300 kids per grade. The musicals are phenomenal, but it's commitment. It's not that competitive however. You can take AP Classes once in 10th grade, not freshman year. Be on top of your required credits and plan ahead so you can take what you want. There are only 1 class period for AP classes and 2 classes for honors classes. Often you have to sacrifice since many classes run at the same time only once. It's a very calm school no drama or fights. Admin is strict.

Awful, terrible school. The teachers don’t care, the administration is even worse. All they care about is their image, which is tainted already. Kids gets bullied, nothing gets done. One of the worst, if not, THE worst school I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

My kids enjoyed playing sports for the High School and my son was captain of the Basketball team.

I kid you not my son did not have homework his...
