Truman Senior High School

I don't think the school and the district are really that well maintained. the security there is poor, you can just walk right up to the front door and walk in. security sits in a tiny office half the time talking. also the classrooms are really rowdy and noisy sometimes. then some of the kids are really mean to other students. this happens on a weekly basis. and the school administration is very poor. no effort into getting better food in the cafeteria or to listen to other students. and the teachers there are too lineiant with cursing and fighting. my reaction to all this was cyber school. which is what i think that kids in this district should do in high school level. thank you from Kyle Carter Levittown PA.

It was knows as Woodrow Wilson HS when I attended it also and it was a great school then and it's a great school now. Anyone who complains about "not being able to learn" is obviously placing blame for it on the school, instead of themselves, like most people do today. God forbid someone takes responsiblity for their actions.

My son is graduating with honors, he has been an honor student all through the bristol twp school dist. A big majority of these kids are involved with there school, and extra activities.

I barely graduated from Harry S. Truman HS. The priorities there are backwards. We had new basketballs before we had books. The classrooms were consistently disorganized and unruly; I could barely concentrate on school work. The student body is very 'cliquish'. When I went to the guidance counselor for help, I was encouraged to consider the military after school or a sports team. Send your kids to Catholic school! Truman nearly ruined my life.

I am currently a student at Harry S Truman High School and I like it a lot. It is a very diverse school compared to all the other high schools around. I also like all the teachers that I've had so far in my times of being at this high school. The honors classes are, in my opinon, very good and worth taking. And yes there is a challenge in taking sone of them. I enjoy being a student there and I think it is a very good high school academically.

My child is an honor student and very involved in activities but she has a few classes where the kids are in charge and the teachers have no control and these are honors classes.

The academic programs are good. The extracurricular activities are very good. Level of parent involvement is fair.

Despite its somewhat lackluster reputation, I found Truman to be an incredible, diverse, and complete place to learn. Unlike some other schools in Bucks County, there are people of all religions, races, sizes, sexual orientations, social statuses, etc, and everyone takes pride in who they are (VOICE and GLASS are among groups of these people). The extracurricular activities are some of the best in the nation - notably the debate team (for 40+ years, has had state/national competitors/winners and more recently, nationally ranked students), theatre group (ground-breaking Les Mis production while it was still on Broadway in 2002, attended by Cameron McIntosh [Broadway producer of Les Mis]), bands and choirs (both nationally reknowned). Parental and student support and involvement are strong. While the honors/AP classes could be more plentiful, Truman and its environment provide its students with a worldly and academic education that is unparalleled.

Truman well prepared my college student for higher education, and my younger son is thriving there. There are wonderful teachers and administrators making sure these children succeed. Their brand new stadium is a true symbol of community support, and school spirit. Extra curriculum activities are diverse and incredible.
