The reviews that praise this school are in direct contrast to the reviews from parents who's child needed extra attention and these reviews are a perfect example of the biased treatment student's experienced depending on their intelligence. My experience for my daughter was in direct contrast to my experience with my son. Both attended Triton. My daughter was an honor student . My son had ADHD and learning wasn't as quick for him and with a little encouragement he succeeded in classes where the teacher's were equipped to help him. Triton was not equipped and not only did these authority figures reprimand any teacher who was equipped and willing to help him succeed. The Principal's unethical and inhumane treatment was then directed towards anyone who refused to be their flying monkeys. If you child is an honor student you may (or may not depending on just how smart your child is so as not to be too educated and threaten the Principal's facade)if your child has any learning or behavior disorders they will be targeted and bullied and destroyed in such a way that you won't even be able to wrap your head around it which is how these people are able to commit such horrendous inhumane acts.

As a parent I was very happy with the school. We put three children through here and all of them are successful. All three went on to four year out of state colleges. Virginia Tech, Clemson and Notre Dame. All three graduated two have great jobs and are incredibly successful and the third is earning her doctorate degree in biochemistry and genetics. Education is not one hundred percent the job of the teacher parents need to work with their children be invested in their education and push their children. Any high school the success of the student will mainly be based on the effort of the student and their parents. In this generation of helicopter parents who haves raised entitled kids that don’t want to work it gets increasingly more difficult for teachers to do their jobs. Teachers unfortunately in many cases are glorified babysitters because the problem students cannot be disciplined and they take up more of the classes time than those that wish to learn. My only complaint with this school is the guidance office. They were horrible. They were lazy they were not helpful and they were incredibly negative. One of my children applied to 12 schools. The list included the likes of Rice, Notre Dame, UNC, UVA, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Duke etc. Her counselor was kind enough to tell her and later me ona phone call. That her list of schools is impressive but she needs to be more realistic. When I asked what she meant she informed me that both her daughters had applied to UVA and UNC and neither was accepted and, no offense, they were much better students than my daughter. She instructed my daughter she should apply to Stockton and if she wanted to go away to apply to coastal Carolina?? My daughter did not do that and was accepted at 11 of the 12 schools she applied to. Vanderbilt being the only nah. How could her counselor have been that wrong??

I've been teaching at Triton for the last 6 years. There are great students and there are students who don't care. The majority of teachers spend massive amounts of their personal time before and after school preparing for classes that contain no fewer than 28 students. And we love it. Triton is one of the most diverse populations in the region and in the last 5 years has become one of the most tolerant schools. If you are a parent and have had to come to school to discuss your child's progress, you know that we care about your child as much as you do. Quite frankly, sometimes more. I am always sad to see our graduates leave every June. There are crowded hallways, things that are constantly in repair, but the family atmosphere trumps those things every time.

Triton High School is too crowded. The school is old and rundown. If your child is not an honors student, the guidance department does not have much time for them. Triton (and the Black Horse Pike Regional School District) offers classes at four levels. Advance placement, Honors, Accelerated, and College Prep. While it is great that they push for excellence, there isn't much offered for the students who need extra assistance. The Honors and AP classes have a fantastic student/teacher ratio...but the college prep classes are way too crowded. Does the school really need three levels of advanced classes?

As a student who is now transfeering i'd say that triton is pretty good. there are a few things that could be better like actually helping understand the work rather than gliding by it but its a pretty decent school.

Class sizes are too large; students who are not in honors classes are pushed along like sheep being herded. Students are looked down upon if the competitive honors classes are too challenging for them and they feel the need to drop out of them. Bullying, when encountered, is awful and not much is done about it. Cliques are rampant - as an 'artsy kid' I never heard when a single football game was and I never cared.

No school is perfect, but Triton is one of the better schools I have visited. My job requires me to travel to many schools throughout the region. As a third-party observer during school hours, Triton ranks among the top with regard to student conduct, noise level, respect to visiters and staff professionalism. I have found that parents who usually complain, are the ones that come into the building with an entitled attitude, and want the staff to compensate for their lack of parenting. Schools in a much higher SES, often have much less to offer.
