My daughter graduated from this school in 2012, very well prepared and positioned for college. The gifted program in this district is great - differentiated course offerings continue through high school (philosophy!!). There are also a lot of AP courses, and with their effective instruction, she scored a 4 or 5 on all AP exams (so the school helped her trim almost a full year off her bachelor's degree and saved us a lot of money).

My son graduated from Spring-ford last year. We moved here the end of kindergarten for him and he loved school. He decided in eighth grade he thought he wanted something more challenging so he applied to a few private highschools in our area and he decided on The Hill school. Freshman year he began his year at The Hill school and found he lived the challenge of the classes but missed his friendships at Spring-ford. He cane back to Spring-ford to finish out freshman year. With the help of his counselor he was placed in the appropriate honors classes and continued to grow through out his high school career. I do believe high school is what you want to make out of it. I also believe as a parent you still need to be very involved and be your teens advocate at all times.

I graduated from Spring-Ford last year, and although it is crowded, the new addition really does space things out. There are enough seats for everyone at lunch, and if there wasn't changes would certainly be made to accommodate them. The guidance department made it seem like college was more challenging to get into than it actually was for me, which was just a motivation to work harder. The majority of teachers are more than willing to do whatever it takes to help their students succeed and even the older teachers are still open to new suggestions. The honors and AP classes are though provoking and challenging. Arguable, a few of the AP classes are more challenging then some of the college classes I am currently enrolled in. The district is also very conscientious of keeping an excellent program for music & fine arts, as well as extracurricular activities, throughout budget cuts. Overall, it's a great place for kids to get an education.

Anyone here who doesn't like Spring-Ford, simply doesn't like the American public school system. Spring-Ford does the best that is can with the money it is given and, considering everything, does a very good job. There are an endless amount of extracurricular activities, from sports to five choirs to academic teams. The class choices are also excellent. The school has great special needs and gifted programs. Classes can be taken to challenge students, including advance English, Science, and Math classes, as well as AP cources in every subject. There are also a wide variety of electives to choose from for classes, whether you prefer Family Consumer Science, Art, Construction Systems, or Finance. The school also has great facilities, even though it is currently under construction. The only issue is that, with recent budget cuts, the school is in jeopardy of losing some of the programs that make it so unique.
