Louis E Dieruff High School

This one of the worst schools my kids has ever went to.the staff and the security guards there act worst than the kids. they do no work with the kids but against them. they quick to suspend a child for any little thing and quick to judge them.The kids do not have a voice in this school. I understand that there are some trouble making kids, but not all are.Most of the kids that are getting in trouble is because most of them are being bullied.Dieruff High School needs alot of work and the teachers in there need to get more teacher skills and coping with kids in a better way.they need to listen to each and every child who's struggling and having issues inside that school.

Dieruff High School is a great place to work. We may not have all of the fancy equipment that the wealthier schools have, but we do have a dedicated staff that works together to provide the best education possible for our students. Our administrators are some of the greatest people in the world to work with. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and are a terrific group of kids who appreciate what the staff at Dieruff is doing to provide them with the best education possible. As a member of School Council (our PTA), we are striving to increase membership to include more parents, school staff (teachers, secretaries, custodial, etc.), business representatives, and community members. Our goal at Dieruff is to create a community of shareholders who work together to make Dieruff a school that prepares students for the 21st century.

I am so happy I went to Dieruff High school it is a place that prepares a person greatly for the real world. All the diversity can really help a person in college and in life. Mr. moniz took over this year and has already started changing the school he will surely lead to be one of the best in the Lehigh Valley in every sense and it will most Definitely be better than Allen

As a former student of l.E.Dieruff, I was inadequately prepared for college. The education was subaverage, due to the lack of administrative interest, teacher burnout, and the overall quality of the student body. I would never send my child to any school in the asd!

When I went to Dieruff (w/Sabo) we had husky pride that couldn't be broken. Despite low overall test scores, helps students with good values flourish. It is helpful to students in AP courses, granted you don't really get to know a lot of people outside of the pack of 30 you travel with for the greater part of the day except during elective classes, I believe that the exposure to such varying economic, ethnic, political, and religious backgrounds prepared me for more than college; I was prepared for the real world.

Although there is potential in Dieruff, it has gone down hill with the loss of academies and does not hold strong academic standards. The staff is wonderful and caring but is obviously loosing faith in the deminishing prospects at the high school.

this school is not academically challenging and you will not leave prepared for college.

The principal is nonexistent. The school administration is narrow minded.

The academic programs have come along way, but still do not measue to other schools. There are many extracurricular activities, however, the school budget does not allow these programs to become competitive. Parent involvement is turning around, but still low.

My children were taken care of very well. The security in L.E. Dieruff HS is one of the best I've seen when I was there for a brief visit. I know that my children are safe and are getting their education that they deserve. My mind is at ease and when I'm working, I don't have to worry about my children getting into fights or being victims of any fights in the hallways.
