I spent all 12 years of schooling in this school district. Going to high school though, makes this…read morereview only have 2 stars. First of all, Upper Darby High School has WAY too many kids in it. 4000 kids is too large! How are kids suppose to receive one-on-one classroom attention? Second, this school district is too strict about the testing. Granted, it is not their fault. However, they put so much pressure on us to excel in these tests and it made us not want to do well. Third, they got rid of the music program. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I grew up in the music program. Some of the best teachers in this school district are music teachers. Apparently, the school district doesn't have the funds. Conveniently though, they have the funds for the sports teams. Again, very convenient. I could go on but I digress. I don't want my future children entering into this school district. I do have to add that this school district does give kids the ability to do things that others' don't. They have many programs, such as engineering and cosmetology. They have the option for kids to take classes for college credits. For me though, the bad outweighs the good.

The friends that I made in high school are still my closest friends thirty years later. My child is a current student here and is enjoying it as well. His faith is strong and he is excelling in academics. He appreciates the uniform and takes pride in his appearance. He does not find that it stifles his creativity for creativity comes from within and he is able to express himself through his essays and artwork. The teachers here assist the students in excelling and are truly concerned with helping them achieve greatness. Being a teacher in a Catholic school is truly a vocation and we are blessed and grateful to be a part of such an outstanding community.

Parents should definitely do what's best for their children by attending them to one of the best schools in the state, not only is Lower Merion High School one of the best, but also the best at welcoming new students who move or transferred from a different school.

Lower Merion High School is not all about that, but to make your children feel like they belong here and that they should have the confidence to waking up knowing it's going to be a great day at their new school!

I've called the high school several times this year just to find out information for my current 8th…read moregrader soon going into high school for 2022. No one at the school had any real customer service demeanor. The front desk lady never said her name, nor was she inviting or nice. I was then transferred to the guidance counselor and she had no customer service either. I understand that people have a bad day, but as a customer service person, you have to put those things aside and treat people accordingly. I really have to consider whether Lower Merion High School will be my son's choice of school.

FANTASTIC school and community with dedicated and remarkably engaging faculty. The kids at Friends…read moreCentral School (FCS) are kind and caring, humble and free of elitism! You (kids or parents) don't have to be beautiful, wealthy of wear expensive sneakers to feel valued here. And the parents are a thousand times friendlier than the ones at Gladwyne Elementary. If you read "Battle hymn of the tiger mom," Baldwin is more like the mom and FCS is more like the dad. They both end up as Ivy League professors but take different paths to get there. So, it depends what you are looking for. FCS is intentional in teaching excellent academics (just look at the list of colleges the kids attend), critical thinking, intellectual risk taking and compassion. The school uses various strategies to foster psychological and social well being and the result is that kids are not bogged down by loneliness, depression, anxiety, etc. Sports are in perspective alongside drama and music, and other co-educational activities. The curriculum integrates concepts with interesting experiences, such as going to the Rennaisance Faire as part of the social studies lesson on societal structures or examining cheek cells through microscopes for a biology lesson in cell structure. No wonder the school makes kids eager to learn and study! Our child has attended three schools and is by far the happiest at FCS. . Check it out for yourself: Friendscentral.org OPEN HOUSE Sat.

I value the education I got here tremendously - from Mr Duffany's excruciating but valuable sentence diagram the the late Señor Laserna's Spanish, which lasts with me still. I loved rowing crew and Doc Kinney's art class/introspective therapy sessions, could have done without some of the cookie-cutter jackasses and senses of entitlement. But all in all it was a good school for the area, one I think of with mostly fond memories, and I wish only the best for this place.
