Terrible school. The kids talk about gang affiliations during class. They are disrespectfull to teacher. South mountain represents the very lowest in education and society.

As a grandparent of an Autistic student, I would like to say this school is very dedicated to the needs of these students. The teacher and the IA's do a great job.

As a teacher at South Mountain, I can attest to the spirit of the other teachers and the administration. They truly have whats best for the kids in mind, they put in their ownmoney and hours of over time to make sure that the students get the best education possible. It is an upper class school in an urban area, offering quality education to kids who need it most.

I, as a current student at South Mountain Middle School feel that this is truly the best middle school here in Allentown. Our academic programs rock. Our teachers rock even more. A lot of parents help out with the school too. Also, SMMS has the most coolest extracurricular activities. There's so much to do and so much to get involved in, such as; Sports, The Yearbook Committee, Student Council, and even more. I am very proud to be a student at South Mountain Middle School. - South Mountain Middle School is the best! North, South, East or West!
