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.

Honestly going to plymouth whitemarsh was a great experience. I went to two highschools and this one prepared me the most for college. I had a lot of opportunity. Each class had a good teacher to student ratio.

The best part of my experience from my High School was when I was on the track team. The coaches and other athletes made it feel like a family. We always helped each other out and grew as a team. What I would change is how some of the clubs were ran. Some were very sloppy and was not productive. I did not have any bad memories while in high school, it was a good time and helped prepare me for college.

I truly have had a great time at PW and all of the teachers and classmates I have had have been nothing but supportive and accepting. There are so many opportunities here at PW including the IB program that I will start my junior year of high school and I am so excited because not every high school has this program to offer. I am so lucky and privileged to call myself a Plymouth White marsh High school student!!!

They are not willing to teach. Which makes the other beautiful teacher's look bad...

I hate this school and could not wait to get out of their. I hated waking up every morning and having to go there, it is an awful environment to learn in and to even just be in. The teachers just care about themselves and are more worried about being liked by the students than actually teaching. The...
