Reading Senior High School

I thought the experience would have been average with exception of supportive teachers and access to college search programs. As a senior in high school, my courses were a mixture of honors and general courses, due . to my previously having attended an out of country high school. When in honors courses, teachers spent more time with each student (overall more invested). In the general courses, teachers were less supportive with the exception of one teacher. Not to take away from the support this teacher provided, being misplaced in a general course helped me stand out from the rest of my classmates. I was connected with the college search program, which gave me access to the many possibilities regarding SAT testing preparation, college applications preparation, college visits, etc. I was accepted into all of the universities I applied to and joined a Patriot League university. Overall, I would rate the school average on student body, and exceeded my expectations on teacher/college programs/advisor support.

Reading HS is one of the best schools to get an education because it teaches you how to deal with the real life after high school RHS also has an amazing marching band and music program I think it is so cool that there is a high school still out there like this one

Reading High School has an outstanding faculty, excellent teachers and a great extracurricular program including band, football, basketball, cheerleading and more. The JROTC program offers discipline that many of the students can't find at home.

My children graduated from RHS and my grandson is currently attending. It's a huge school with wonderful diversity. The academic opportunities are complimented by the an array of extra curricular activities - band, orchestra, sports and hundreds of clubs. Go, Red Knights!

Reading High School is a school that has been plagued by the media. Every chance someone gets to give a negative look to the school, they take. When the people who are saying all the negative things about Reading High to begin with, have never even set a foot in the building during school hours to see how things operate. I welcome anyone who is pessimistic about this school to come take a firsthand look at all the hard work being put in to make this school functional.

As a student of Reading High School I think it is a great enviroment to learn in. Students who come in from other neighboring schools are sometimes frightened to do so and I just don't see why. The school just receives bad attention in the media and such, which gives the reputation that this is a horrible place, and that's completely false! I Love Reading High!

I think that anyones experience at rhs depends solely on what they put into it. It is an incredibly diverse school with many activities to get involved in, and some top notch teachers. As a student that has taken both courses at the Reading Public Museum through the high school's humanities program and taken advantage of the AP courses within the school, I have experienced amazing teachers all around. If you ask the same question to another student, depending on what they put into their experience at RHS, you may get the complete opposite. One thing that needs to be addressed within the school is the lowering of standards. This isn't the way to go about getting more students to pass. Police have recently been removed from the school, which I believe to be a horrible decision. Although the police still patrol outside, it is hard to handle potential crises.

I am a student at RHS and to me this is a good school but their are some students who make this school look bad when it really isn't. yes our school has alot diversity and fights but what school doesnt? This school taught me to stand up for myself and be strong, the violence here isn't a good atmosphere but at least we're not being babyed or over protected from the real world. Violence isnt the answer but it is something that happens in everyday life.
