School Reviews
5 7/1/2007
Pennsbury is a wonderful learning center for students coming from all backgrounds. There is plenty available for students, such as extracurriculars, many that are consistently declining in neighboring schools. Such availabilities are music, several choral programs to take which count as a regular class, various clubs, including Morningstar, art clubs, and more. There are also numerous sports students can take part in, both male and female. Each year we hear about the outstanding sports teams that come from Pennsbury. While the school has its share of problems, just as does every other,though it does not let such problems keep them from educating students to the best of their ability. I would recommend this school to someone who has just moved into the district, or thinking about transferring their child out of their current district. Parents are able to find out what their child does in school each day, with such organizations as PTO or PTA. I'm sure a good percentage of people would agree with me here.
