Maple Shade High School

Maple Shade High School may be a small school, but it a small school with a big heart. The teachers, administration and support staff are genuinely caring and dedicated to the students, school and community. I have children that have already graduated and one that is a senior this year. My graduates have gone on to college and felt fully prepared. My senior also shares this sentiment with being offered Honors classes and CAP classes. She will graduate MSHS with 15 college credits from BCC. Many larger/regional high schools focus on children who are their star athletes or top 10% of their class leaving other students feeling lost or left out. My children were always given an opportunity to play a sport and be a part of the team, where at other larger school they would never of had the same opportunity. GREAT JOB Teachers, Staff and Administration!!

Remind me again why I'm paying this much taxes to live in a town whose public schools are rated only slightly above Philadelphia's?

I graduated from Maple Shade High School in 2006 and I really enjoyed my experience at the school.The teachers were friendly and helpful. The average graduating class in the school is anywhere from 150-200 people. If you enjoy living in a small town, Maple Shade is definitely a good place.

I think the principal in the High School Mr.Arnaur is excellent my daughter had in as a principal about 3 years ago while in 4th grade..He is caring and enjoys teaching the children, I've never met a principal like this...

The new principals and administrators are excellent. They are caring and always looking for new and exciting ways to motivate our students. As parents, we need to remind ourselves that we must take an active approach in our children, schools and community. I have worked in education for many years in some of the 'best' school districts, many of your concerns are happening in these districts as well. These school districts quietly take clean up their dirt while accentuating their merits.

This school has its positives and negatives as any school does. It has many hard working teachers and administrators. Its student body is made of many hard working serious students that take pride in their school, athletics and community. As with all things, what you put into it you will get out of it.

I am a parent of a student at MSHS. Unfortunately, there seems to be a growing problem at the school which is very evident if you attend any functions outside the normal school day. Many teachers at this school are more concerned about being the students friends rather than being mentors. My student advised me that this was a problem two years ago and I didnt grasp the severity of it until she opened my eyes to it. Thankfully, I will not have to worry about it after this year but if you send you child to this school, pay close attention and you may not like what you see.

I am a student at maple shade, this past year many students are upset over how things are ran. Overall i believe this school is very unorganized. We also arent very exceptive of new students, i think you should think hard before you send your child here.

I love this school. I am a parent of a 9th grader, she loves the teacher and the staff are very helpfull. The new high school principal is fresh and exciting for both the students and his staff.
