As someone who lives in the heart of Wyomissing I am really surprised by all the comments on this board. Wyomissing is not just for wealthy people. There are plenty of houses that are not mansions. There are semis, townhomes, and condos as well. No one in my neighborhood or any of the blocks around us drive a BMW or Mercedes. They are just regular hard working people. These posts all sound like they are made from the same teenagers. It is sad that is the image that they are portraying about this adorable suburb. The houses are old and charming and there is a gorgeous park system.

Maybe about 30% of the kids are rich and preppy, which is higher than most schools giving us this reputation. We call that 30%, the preps. The school itself serves grades 7-12. Once you get to 10th grade you'll notice the separation of AP, honors and academic. People frown upon kids who don't take APs but just honors. The AP people are usually really smart and are trying to get crazy GPAs like 5.0 or more on a 4.0 scale. Some actually work hard while others cheat because they are lazy. It's not uncommon to see people with Porsches or Mercedes. But if you're anyone, you cruise around in your Jeep, blasting hardcore rap.
The prep boys: very hot (until they open their mouths) wear: Vineyard Vines,sometimes polo, sperry's or polo sneakers
The prep girls: pretty smart, athletic, pretty, some can be slutty
wear: Vineyard Vines, Nike, Lululemon, Free People
But remember that is the preps, we all don't dress like that. If you don't play a sport you are probably in the arts. If you're in nothing, you don't really exist. Thanks to the class of 2013, our parties have to be on the down low because theirs were busted. People do drink but that's in every high school. Weed is our drug of choice in Wyo. Many smoke (athletes) and it isn't considered a big deal. Most kids post picutures of parties, giving the illusion that we throw epic parties. Gossip travels extremely fast throughout our town.

If you're an outsider looking in you have only seen the obnoxious 30% of Wyomissing in which I'm so sorry. Give us a chance and you will find normal people.

Wyomissing is one of the top ranked public schools in United States, let alone Pa. Anyone talking shit against Wyo is either jealous or has no idea what the hell they are talking about. For the most part it is hard working parents who want to see the very best for their kids. I grew up in a humble part of Berks and moved to Wyo years later...so I know both sides of the tracks.
The Sports teams are well coached and the coaches themselves are very well respected. For such a small enrollment, they make the most of their talent. I am proud of the Spartans and their commitment to winning.
But you grow up and you calm down...

After everything is said and done, Wyomissing has a great tradition of being an all around great school for kids.

Here, everyone owns houses bigger than most. 99% of the town is white, and all the little girls walk around wearing lacoste and ralph lauren polos and oxfords (collars popped -- that's a given), j. crew classics, "real" juicy couture, and accessorize with prada. Knockoffs? What are those?!
After lacrosse or field hockey practice, they all top off their polka-dot hair ribbons with eliza b. or rainbow flip flops. Don't even think about wearing just red or blue, it's all "nantucket red" and "lagoon" or "ocean spray".
Now onto the boys they date:
All wear seersucker or madras shorts/pants, and have long, stylishly unkempt hair. They play lacrosse, football, or water polo and are exceptional at them, when they aren't stoned or drunk. Their families attend parties every saturday night, where all the men have names like "tyler" and preppy little nicknames.
For fun in Wyomissing, girls shop 'til they drop at "King of Prussia", where the most popular stores include "AX" and "BCBG", where you can pay $70 for a faded shirt that has been "professionally aged" so that the buyer can pretend to be ghetto and poor. And "ghetto" is a word used often in Wyomissing. Preppy kids dressed to impress often say things like, "woah, man, your BMW is sooo mad ghetto". For the cash it takes to buy the sportscars that are cruising around the Philly metro area, you could buy and refurbish a ghetto.
Bottom line: Wyomissing is preppy to the max, a prime example of a community so sheltered that most of the people there have an incredibly skewed perspective of wealth.

A Town on the East Coast that is extremely close to Philadelphia. Many of the kids who go there are excessivally good looking, have rich parents, and own everything they want. You do not exsist if you do not consistantly wear ralph lauren, lilly pulitzer or lacoste polos, and if you do not use the correct launguage while interacting, then nothing will make sense to the people you are talking to. (Language consists of the phrases "mad" "chill" and "straight". Often kids will be sent off to boarding school due to bad behavior, and then kicked out since boarding school suplys more drugs than a rich wyo kid can ask for. During the summer if you do not sail or travel around the world then you most likely belong to a rich summer club (or green valley) that has either golf or tennis. Depending on who you involve yourself with, you could get nice friends, or friends who will always be your enemies. (also, parties are off the hook)The most popular sport is water polo and lacrosse (mainly for boys) and most all the water polo boys are exremely gorgeous and are excessive stoners.
Sebastian: That dude didnt pop his coller today, his polo wasn't even lacoste or ralph lauren
Dylon: Dude thats not straight, lets pop him at lunch after we hit that joint
Sebastian: Shyea dude, that sounds mad chill
Laura: Excuse me bitches but that doesn't seem right, i give him points for at least layering the nantucket red and sailboat yellow
Guys: True True that chick has a pretty heavy reason...thats chill
Sebastian and Dylon: Tall blondes with aviators and rainbows, IQ ranges from 55-75 points
Laura: Gorgeous girl who gets every guy she wants, blonde too and matches polos with everything.....chill

A boring, rich, upper class town just outside of Reading, Pennsylvania, full of doctors, lawyers, accountants, college professors and other people who think they’re hot shit. Like other rich towns in the Philadelphia area, Wyomissing is full of drug-addicted teenagers and clueless/ignorant parents who choose to look the other way when they walk in on their child shooting up. All of kids from the town are spoiled and a lot of them try to act like they’re tough thugs from the rough streets. When in actuality the only dangerous thing to worry about is hitting a deer crossing the road or running out of coke. Parents throw fancy parties near every single holiday (even st. patrick's day) which their kids attend for about an hour before going out to get drugged up and wasted beyond coherency with their other rich little friends. To be honest, most of the teenagers are pretty out of control and have no morals whatsoever. There is no "shocking behavior" at a Wyomissing party because these kids aren't shocked by much. The town also contains a numerous amount of hot girls that can be seen on a day to day basis usually driving their mommies and daddies BMW, Mercedes, Infiniti, Acura or Lexus with no place to go.
Tom: "Who was that hot girl doing lines of coke in her BMW M3?"
Tara: "Oh, thats Lisa, she lives in Wyomissing, she's that snobby bitch I told you about whose loser brother thinks he's a gang banger. I fucking hate people from Wyomissing."
