School Reviews
1 5/19/2020
I was so thankful to leave PHSSA. I was a parent there since year one and was extremely excited and supportive of the school and its goals. It ended up straying from those goals, in education and environment. The administration and teachers were not supportive of parents and I felt completely alienated in the last couple of years. My children have since thrived in comparison at their middle school and couldn't be happier as a parent to have moved on from such a toxic environment.
