there are a lot of good things about stissing mountain high school, most of the staff is very friendly, full of fun, and willing to help their students. The art programs and the science programs in particular. As a student at stissing, who is currently in the AP art class, i can definitely say the arts are their strong suit.

The education I receive at Stissing Mountain High School is phenomenal. I enjoy working with the teachers, all of whom always offer to help if you need it. However, my rating comes down to four stars due to the fact that the social aspect of this school is so lacking.

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...
