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.

I enjoy going to Quakertown Community High School as a senior, they have a close community that is very inclusive.

I felt that my experience at Quakertown was overall very good, although some aspects could be changed. Diversity and inclusion are minimal and some groups of students are targeted for integration "programs" that do not take their feelings and thoughts into account. It is very forced and the students do not have the ability to feel comfortable within their own school.
