Dieruff is a school I had a wonderful experience at! I went there all 4 years of high school. I made friends, and the teachers were all supportive of me and anything I was going through. I did have things going on emotionally at that time that were unrelated to the school, and all of the teachers, counselors and nurses were all there to support me every step of the way. They truly cared and were non-judgmental. The learning environment wasn't disrupted often, and I am a proud Husky alumni! I recommend Dieruff personally.

Dieruff staff are terrific I went to Dieruff and so did my kids. It is not just this school but the whole Allentown School district that have a problem because of transient students , that the scores are so low. Parents constantly move/ change schools and then do not get involved in their education. These are the parents that want the school to do it all, health care/educate /provide school materials, even paper and pencils; they are the 1st to cry no fair and 'Not my johnny-he would never do that or fix him yourself." Parents get involved with your child's education and encourage them to go out for sports or other activities. They will feel more involved in their own education. Teachers will not feel like they have to 'dumb' down the lessons then.
