If you have a child with special needs, Avoid this school at all costs. Staff is very rude to the parents, no help at all for disabled students. They lie when questioned about meeting your child’s IEP request. We requested a full time 1:1 for my child, and we ended up finding out the 1:1 that was supposed to be there only my child was shared with 6 more students. Speech and OT is a joke. They do group sessions all the time, ignoring the ones that needs more attention and support. ABA? No even one progress slip throughout the entire year. We find it very sketchy that they don’t allow outside agencies to go and give the children the much needed help like some other schools do. My other kid used to tell us how he could hear the staff yelling and screaming at the special needs kids. When trying to find out why my child came with bruises and scratches almost every week, I was given some silly vague answers. “They never knew”. Again, avoid that place.

Pennridge only helps kids that don't need it. If your child needs a little extra, they are shoved aside. They don't care if they are being bullied because the teachers bully the kids as much as the students. The new principal needs to find a job that isn't dealing with children because she has no idea how to talk to them. South Middle school is almost as bad. The teachers are bullies and most should be terminated. Think twice before enrolling your kids

My child has been at this school for 4 years - This year with the newest principal - She is excellent - really takes safety seriously! A+++ The old principal was a fine man as well - the kids read and were excited about it. This year while it's not the same excitement within the school - everything is great with this school. Teachers have all been wonderful - can't complain about a single one. This year I even saw a teacher walking the walkers down to crossing guard when the scare was around in the fall. The teachers really go out of their way and care. :) Communication from principal during that time was amazing. Office staff - eh - personable yet you get the feeling they don't really love their job. They could work on that! Communication with teachers has been superb throughout the years - very easy to get a hold of and you receive responses back quickly. Any other issues I have primarily deal with new laws - protocols - not the school itself or staff.
