Southern Lehigh attempts to position itself as one of elite learning facilities in the state of Pennsylvania, but in fact they are swayed by the same pressures as all of the other schools who attempt to appear superior. If you are white, wealthy and athletic, then this is the school for you. If your parents are of the average working class and you are not the top goal scorer, then they hardly have time for you. They profess to champion education, but instead choose to sponsor "turf studies". One only needs to review the School Board meeting minutes to understand where their true focus is.

I enjoyed being a student at Southern Lehigh Highschool. They have a great atmosphere at the school.

Southern Lehigh treats the students right as long as that student is white, smart, wealthy and athletically involved. I attended this school and because of my race was made fun of by other students. The administration did absolutely nothing to stop this. Also, me and a handful of other girls experienced sexual harassment in the hallway from a fellow student. When this issue was brought up to administration, they brushed it under the rug and hardly punished the culprit at all. Very disappointing high school experience.

Moved into this district when my child was entering 6th grade. She's now graduated and we are very pleased with her experience and education at Southern Lehigh. It was recommended to me and widely recognized as one of the top handful of districts in the Lehigh Valley area and I couldn't agree more. Much smaller than the biggest districts in the region, but large enough to have lots of choice in academic programs (many AP classes) and extracurriculars, and competitive sports teams that are typically contending for their league title.
