My experience at Tussey Mountain has been good. However it's the opposite for some students. The only thing that needs evaluated in the discipline. Some students are afraid to speak up because they know that no consequences will be given. Other than that, the teachers and wonderful and create great bonds with the students and the guidance staff has been very helpful throughout the years.

The school policies seemed to care more about the students passing standardized tests and making the school look good. The teachers, on the other hand, were helpful in preparing the students for college. Because of the advice from my teachers, I felt ready to go to college. Their words of wisdom gave me confidence when I left for college, and because of this, my transition to college student was easy.
