"I have 3 children who attend the Perkiomen Valley Schools ranging from 3rd to 11th grade. Our overall experience has been fantastic. The teachers have been phenomenal (and this is coming from a teacher in another district), administration is always supportive and administrators seem to know every single child in their respective bldgs, academics are top notch, and the opportunity to participate in activities is second to none. The district even offers coding as a language as well as Mandarin, starting in middle school. My kids love their schools and their teachers. The early interventions at Skippack Elementary have been superb, catching issues and remedying then before they became an actual problem. I cannot stress enough how amazing our experience has been in this district!" one reviewer wrote.

Another added: "At PV experiences are real! There are numerous clubs and sports to be a part of. The teachers are extremely dedicated, they will remain after school to assist in test prep with students (as well as general study) and to help run clubs and organizations."
