Morrisville Boro Middle School/High School Reviews


Posted By: former student Quality Score: 1 2004-02-23 “I am a former graduate of MHS. From reading the other comments here I can see that nothing has changed since I left in 1989. I live in the Borough and gladly pay for my children to attend other schools. After what I often went through at MHS it is hard for me to believe it has gotten worse. But obviously it has. Security was always a joke, teachers knew little more than some of the students they taught. I would never recommend any child being place in MHS. Why don't we do the smart thing and merge with Pennsbury? Or at least let the state of PA take over and straighten out the mess?” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2009-08-01 “They worry about the buildings when the teaching is poor. The kids don't care to learn, the teachers don't care to teach. They think a new building will make it all better. Well, wrong. The State needs to come and clean house and get things right.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2008-06-30 “As a current student of Morrisville High School, what I can say about it is that it has an amazing amount of teachers willing to put forth their full effort to teach students. However, despite the fact that while they put forth effort, the students do NOT succeed and fail constantly. Henceforth, they give the school a bad rep. To be blunt, the school has very few students that care about education. It's like any other high school, only with even more idiots to contend with. While you have amazing teachers, you have unimaginable morons. So I would suggest if you want a good school for education, you do not attend Morrisville High School. It would be a good place to learn if there were not so many distractions. I.E fighting, chaos, unruly students, sabotage, and idiocy and its finest. No, the staff is fine. Students? No.” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2008-06-30 “I am a former student of MHS, and what stood out to me most about the school was how caring and friendly most of teachers were. Everyone knows everyone, and in some senses that can be kindof homely. In another light, the fact that there isn't as many students causes a lot of social uproar. There's little to no security in the school, even after all it's been through. The staff is excellent, and if the students would make more of an effort towards class instead of drama, this school could exceed the expectations of most. Unfortunately, unless some changes are made, I can't see this happening. The school is very concerned about the emotional state of its students, which is great, but sometimes so much so to where things are expanded into bigger problems than they were. Excellent English programs. Terrible Science programs. I enjoyed my stay there.” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2007-07-31 “I was at MHS for one year before being transferred out. Most teachers I had were okay, but could have been more helpful. Honestly, I did not feel safe here. When I was out, I was able to receive a much better education. Parents need to be more involved, and the academics need to be more of a challenge.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2006-04-23 “The academic programs range from wonderful-the english department-to lack luster-the math and science departments. The electives are wonderful and well developed. For some children the small amount of children in the school may be good. For those children trying to go into a specific field, the small school may be harder for them. The small amount of children in mhs has led to a small number of classes and many teachers who are seen as jokes. The small school also makes choosing friends harder as the selection is not large. The cliques are few and divided, and race and class are the main factors when it comes to deciding between social groups.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-07 “Morrisville is a small school that is close-knit. The teachers truly care about the students and the community. Small class sizes allow lots of individual time for students, but funding is often a problem.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-12-02 “Morrisville is a small town. Unfortunately, our schools are not in a good place academically. The teachers are great, but the curriculum holds back our children's education. Our state test scores are below average in reading and math on all levels. Parent involvement is horrible. The same ones do everything over and over again, year after year. Parents who are involved with their children will succeed, otherwise, they don't stand a chance.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-02-26 “The academic programs are not challenging enough to boost up the SAT scores. Extracurricular activities are unknown to me. Minimal parent involvement.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2004-12-01 “In my opinion Morrisville high school is one of the best schools out there. A lot of people underestimate this school but anyone who attended or actually attends this school know that it is a wonderful environment and its basically like home to the kids who attend the school so before anyone decides to judge this school i would truly appreciate it if they would get all the facts before they do judge.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-02-02 “At the Back-to-School nights, my son's teachers gave me email addresses and the parents were told that we could email at any time if there was a problem. Not only have I emailed one of my son's teachers this year, but last year as well, and never received a response. Don't provide email addresses if you do not intend to write or even call us back. My son is in the 11th grade and even though he struggled with Honors US Cultures and I suggested to him that perhaps he take a Social Studies that wasn't as advanced, he did not want to change. After two years of below average grades, he finally changed. I feel that his teacher should have noticed this as well. Last year, there was an altercation after school and the vice-principal called our home and said someone told him that my son was one of the kids involved. After he was cleared of any involvement, the vice-principal never called to apologize for something that caused my husband and myself to be extremely worried. There also seems to be no interest in helping the parents with college planning, college fairs for the students, etc. Even though I have seen worse schools and my son wants to graduate with his class next year, I am glad my younger son is enrolled in private school.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2003-08-10 “This school is not the best it could be. Morrisville ignores some of its larger problems in favor of smaller insignificant problems. But out of all the schools in the area I felt safest going to this school. The community is small so everyone is like family. Most of the teachers at this school were like friends to me. There is nothing greater than having a teacher who pushes you to do better everyday but can joke about each of your mistakes with you. Morrisville may not have the means to start a tutoring program but each teacher is willing to find the time to stay after school with you and help you out. I am glad my mother decided to stay in Morrisville when she moved her so many years ago. I would never have met so many wonderful people or recieved such a great education.” Posted By: Quality Score: 1 2003-06-16 “My child has not had a particularly good experience at this school. The principal of the middle/high school seems to think he is too important to deal with parents. I had to go through the superintendent to get the principal to see me. The vice principal is rude and vindictive. Most of my child's teachers seem to think they are there to put the children down, too many negative comments are made to them. I also question the fact that their children do not attend this school. Not enough attention is given to correct English usage, grammar and punctuation. If your child does have a problem in a subject, be prepared to pay a tutor, there are none available through the school. Also, be prepared to be inconvenienced throughout the school year. The safety aspect of this school is questionable. Twice this year we have had children bring guns to school. There are no checkpoints, no metal detectors, no real security. Oh, they do require you to buzz in, but they can't see you, so they just buzz anyone in. I can't stand this school district, that's why we are moving.”
