Pennsauken High School

I had some unique, practical and valuable academic experiences in my years at PHS, and I wish the school well.

there wasn't a teacher that i encountered that did not want to help a student. every teacher did their best to help every student in their classes succeed.

Pennsauken H.S. is not much differet than other schools in performances, they do have low scores, but so does Cherry Hill West, let pray it becomes a better school as it use to be, I feel the uniforms definiately will make a difference

Pennsauken High is not a good school at all and I am very surprised it even got 3 stars and a 2 out of 10 rating ...This is not because of the parents ..teachers ...or any adult in general but the students themselves ...they all want to be what their not and feel as though violent acts and 'drama' is the way to serve and spend their 4 years of highschool also the School does not prepare you for college as if they expect us to fail and not go on to it....I am now attending this school and not looking forward to another year at this school....

Either the Board of Education need to be revamped or Pennsauken H.S. principal. This school is really getting to be the bottom of the pit. I am experienceing this first hand with my son who attends there now. I am so disappointed in the way things are run now compared to when my oldest daughter attended there 8 years ago. If my income increases, I will not be sending my youngest daughter there at all. What the heck in going on in there? Does any othere parent care besides myself.

I feel the test scores in the comparision of schools is totally so low for the Pennsauken School District, I am embarresed to say I send my child to the school district, the math scores are absolutely terrible, the violence that happens , nothing happens to the person committing the violence, a few days suspension

Pennsauken High School is a good school, with a few flaws. There is an excellent music program, a good sports program and many clubs and sports for students to be involved in. Pennsauken High School is a very multi-cultural school, you can walk down the hallway and hear three different languages at once. The school's test score are only low because of the high numbers of speacil education students. The non speacil ed. students usally score average or above average. Over years Pennsauken High Schools reputaion has been tarnished, due to violence and inadiquit teachers, most of the children that are the trouble makers have been removed and new admistators and Teachers are being hired for the 2006 and beyond. The most of the current teachers at PHS care about the students and help any student that asks. Pennsauken High School is a place that prepares students for life.

Pennsauken high school is not a good high school! I should no because I go there. The school has great sport teams but it seems that is all they care about. I think they need to focus more on the childern getting and education then on the sports! I mean all they care about is basketball, football, and track. I do not believe phs is a good place to send your child!

the music program is great, there is a artisit of the month thing, and sports are alos avilable. Clubs consist of one for each language takable (french, latin, German, and Spanish) and various Heritage clubs. The academics department could use some serious help, especially in math, because i beleive they are hiring just about anyone.

PHS, is a good school, it has a couple really good teachers. These teachers are dedicated and want your child to succeed. I would tell others to send their children to this school.
