Methacton High School

I have 2 children in this high school and one more coming up that will be attending. I have found the teachers to be genuine, hard working, and probably underpaid for the level of dedication they give the kids. The wide choices of sports programs available make it possible for all types of children to participate.

I have two kids at MHS both who are receiving a top education. We have been blessed with kids who have a desire to learn and embrace all of the opportunities Methacton has to offer. Great families-great teachers-great community-great education!

Methacton represents everything that is wrong with public schools. I have three very intelligent children and this school has made them feel dumb and alone. We transferred here two years ago from out of state. We chose Methacton because of the great reviews, however, the reviews fail to disclose the pettiness and disrespect handed out by the administration (assistant principle specifically). I will be moving my youngest to a different school that supports and encourages all students, not just those with deep pockets.

Fantastic teachers and a welcoming learning environment easily make Methacton one of the best, if not the best school in the area. Most people have two complaints overall: the administration and the condition of the school. The administration is pitiful at best; to be honest. A new superintendent has been hired and seems to be overhauling the administration. As for the age of the school, personally it is not a major issue (Far better than Arcola). When compared to other local schools Methacton is ugly and old but the quality of education is truly the most important thing. In addition, arts, sports, and extra curricular programs are exceptional. Teachers seem to truly connect with students, which helps to improve moral especially during midterms and finals. If you are a parent and are worried about the rumors that Methacton is falling behind other schools, they are for the most part not true. State standardized test scores are far above the state average and surpass the majority of other local high schools. My advice to families moving into Methacton: enroll your children in honors classes and they will thrive. At Methacton the better teachers teach the better students.
