GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Stissing Mountain High school is a good school. I went there many years ago and so has most of my family. I still live in the town, and I attend some of the programs they offer. The age fair is a big deal in the town, and I am so glad that the school still offers it. The plays the school puts on are the best in the area and often draw large crowds. I was part of the music program throughout my high school career, and I am happy to say it is still one of the best around. I have attended some of the concerts put on over the years and they always do a great job. When I was in school there was a lot of bullying at the time we didn't know much about it. From what I have heard Stissing Mountain now takes bullying seriously and has a zero-tolerance policy. That was something I was glad to hear about because it did affect me greatly.

This is our first year here and WE love it! My son is in 8th grade and my daughter in 6th. Was nervous with a new school during a pandemic, but they both have done so well with making friends and with their academics. Both honor roll kids. The teachers and staff are always a pleasure to see and talk...
