Voorhees High School

I'm graduating from this school this year, and I would give it a 75/100. I experienced a lot of problems with the guidance department (regarding my 504 and accommodations) Many of the teachers are great, except for maybe a handful that are unreasonable. The only main problem is the way they do attendance. You only get about 5 days for un excused absences. And if you get food poisoning, you just lost 3 days of that. That is the only big issue I have.

Great school with different levels and paths of study. Teachers are engaging and extra-curricular activities and sports are great fun.

I had a child graduate there a while back and was very impressed with his teachers and guidance staff for staying with him until he graduated. Recently it has seemed a little more tolerance for differences could be needed, but the adults must lead the way and set the example in acceptance of all, regardless of being different, or outside the 'norm'. I think Voorhees will continue to evolve and stay a good, solid educational experience with plenty of activities to keep a teen engaged in learning.

I have had two children graduate from this school. One was in special (ed) services. I can't say enough about the quality of the special services staff. They consistently put the needs of my child first and went above and beyond to make sure that he succeeded. As my other child was on the other end of the academic spectrum , I was impressed with the quality of the honors program. The guidance staff did an excellent job in helping her navigate the college application process. In terms of ethnic diversity; yes, the majority of the students are white. Despite tremendous diversity in terms of family wealth, students from different towns seem to mix and there is no emphasis on having the 'right' clothes. Many students are engaged politically and in world events. My only complaint has to do with the administration, which offers parents little flexibility on policies (absences, detentions).

I beg to differ about the statement of our red neck attitde. Although Voorhees Regional High School in dominated by caucasions, that would not place our mind as a whole to be red necks. we are very open minded and whoever wrote that was obviously not part of this great scholastic experience. Voorhees is very open minded.

As the mother of a freshman, I am very impressed with the academic & extra-curricular programs. Freshmen are made to feel very welcome and Voorhees has a wonderful orientation program which guarantees freshmen and new students do not feel lost or adrift. So far, it has been a wonderful experience for my child.

Educationally this school is wonderful. Racially the students of this school lack open mindedness. Very red neck attitudes.

Hello all, I was student at Voorhees High School from 98-02. Overall, it was a great experience. The teachers were dedicated, but sometimes lacking, and there is almost no diversity. Other than that, there are plenty of activities and the history department was great!
