It is a very good school. The teachers work with students to help them when they are struggling. The education is also very good. It has some good sports teams as well as lots of commitment to after school clubs

I think it's really easy for kids to find things to complain about, but I've learned that you get out of school exactly what you put into it. Wissahickon HS has some pretty amazing teachers that have dedicated themselves to educating kids. We have all had a rough few years with covid and shootings and what seems like more stress than normal times, but at Wiss there is a real effort for the staff at all levels to be there for everyone. Not everyone is open to receiving what is there for them taking, but they should be. 10 stars for the guidance counselors... and 100 if you're lucky enough to get Mrs White for Chem.

Wissahickon High School is a great school with nice teachers, a challenging and advanced curriculum, and good sports teams. There are many clubs to participate in, and the staff tries its best to implement policies to advocate for kindness and inclusion.
