GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school have a great variety of electives but it has big problem with managing fights. Students have a little too much liberty which makes it kind of dangerous. It feels like this school is well known because of their fights intead of their track team or academics.

Norristown and a very small but noble town. We have a rich history dating all the way back to 1812, and we celebrate that along with becoming a closer community every day. Growing up in Norristown has reminded me to stand tall, stand out and be there for your peers, family and friends.

Constant fighting, students do not try very hard, bathrooms smell like carts and expired food. Teachers are friendly but don't push hard enough, students are rude, toxic, and disgusting. Parents do not care about their children's education.

This school is not recommended for people who havent lived in a tuff neighborhood before. From a old teachers perspective i noticed the constant lack of teacher care of fights and effort to help students out with grades or bring forward more effort is disgusting. 1 Star.

I graduated in 1977. It was a decent school. The school is neglected, the students are not ready for college or anything else. All we do is raise taxes. You cant sell a home in the district because young couples do not want to send their children here. Absolutely disgraceful!
