Allen High School is probably the worst school in Pennsylvania. It is extremely dirty, white powder covers every inch of it. The teachers are terrible, either very incompetent or completely unreasonable. The school itself is just a maze of buildings built ontop of each other after a century and a half.

William Allen High, a big school with tons of opportunities. From over 100 clubs to over 30 AP (advanced placement) and DE (Dual Enrollment) classes. Allen has an a amazing staff that cares not only about your work ethic but the wellness of your being. Allen is what I am today which I am proud to say a ninth grade student in 6 extra curricular activities with a 3.5 GPA.

this schools need more attention then others think. I'm a senior there and i play sports, sing and i volunteer when i can. as a school in general its not a school at all no bonding is done there many "GROUPS" who just stay together and that's it. for sports i would say we are ok but from others schools views we suck i did soccer this year and got two coaches who nevered played soccer it dosen't make sense. and the teammates don't know anything and all we did was argue. now teaching i've had couple amazing teachers and horrible teacher who are a waste in my time and others. higher racked school offices don't understand what we are being taught we are lowest ranking school in the state for a reason and they think if they make it easier we'll pass but its worse people just don't care because ITS TOO EASY. the school just enforced a uniform policy and its really stupid it was decided if we look better we will do better and that is LIES it just made many poverty students go and buy almost expensive pants and polo, if you notice 37 percent of Allentown is in poverty. I just wished these "Officials" would try to understand its the student who make the school and break it.

Allen is the WORST HIGH SCHOOL IN ALLENTOWN PA!!!!!!! I HATED ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!! All I liked was my half of Freshmen September - January; and my Sophomore years. I went their because of my friends. Who likes Allen anyways? 95% of the people there act like they're too cool, 9)% of them were too immature and I CANT STAND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
