Penndale Middle School, Lansdale | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

If you can avoid sending your child to this school do so at all costs. The police are at this school virtually every day (I was told this by the Lansdale Police themselves). There are fights regularly at this school. My son went there for 2 months and was assaulted by another student who smashed him in the head with one of the Chromebook laptops the schools gave the children which gave my son a concussion that put him out of school for 5 months!! The school did basically nothing. A district supervisor told me I could send my son to another school if I was that concerned. They showed me the security footage from two different cameras of my son being attacked. The footage showed the whole thing happening and it also showed their security guard with his back to the children the whole time this happened. My son’s bus was late that day so they were the only group of children left in the bus area. The security officer was not doing his job!! They told the police they needed a subpoena to get the security footage. By the time the police got the subpoena, the school had deleted the video. They destroyed evidence that was to be part of a criminal case in Montgomery County!! I have never seen a school with such a blatant disregard for the safety of its students and such a lack of caring for a serious injury that has happened to a student in their care.

despite some mediocre reviews here is THE TRUTH READ THIS. I am in high school and just finished there. 1 it is 99% not dangerous but the 1% of students you should worry about. i would say 20% of the students dont care, 15% do drugs, 10% will be suspended and the staff especially the principals don’t stop much. Dr sullivan i have never seen(not sure where he works), mr bashaw is fair and i would go as far to say that he runs the school- the other principal ms robbins is unfair my parents and her do not get along. back to fighting and drugs, the security guards are there to stop fights in the lunchroom but usually dont do much. most fights are in bathrooms where teachers wont enter. they are recorded and put on social media. students are suspended for smoking in bathrooms every year. in fact my friend told me they just had dogs visit the school and found drugs im not saing this is a bad school but if you don’t make friends you will not enjoy it. also teachers dont care
