Affectionately known as "The Castle on the Hill," Reading High School in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States, is home to more than 4,000 students and several hundred teachers. The school houses ninth through twelfth grade students from within the city limits in one of the largest school buildings on the east coast, with over eight miles of hallways. The school is diverse ethnically, a broad spectrum of nationalities are well represented within the school’s population, and academically, a large number of electives and varied extracurricular activities are offered. While much is made of the urban environment and rumors of violence seem to fill the media many students attest to the safety of the school. Most of these fears seem to stem from exaggerated news coverage as well as an unreasonable fear of urban communities held by many suburbanites. On the contrary over the last fifteen years the school's diverse urban atmosphere combined with exceptional teaching and advanced placement programs has contributed to the acceptance of many of Reading High’s top students to several Ivy League schools, including Yale, Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, as well as several other prestigious Universities including the University of Notre Dame, Northwestern University and Oberlin College.
