WIssahickon is an expensive school district, and you might wonder where your taxes are going to fund these schools. I can confirm, as someone who has been going here since age 5 (18 now), that it is not being spent wisely - the roof on the high school has leaked for years but millions were spent on a new pool. The arts are scraping for funding, and so is the music and drama programs. AP tests are now unfunded after the first two, even though school funds are supposedly going to stem. Bullying and hazing are bad, especially in sports teams. Safety is poor, security guards are bad even though we have had 3-4 serious security threats in the past year, including s drunk person who rode the school bus in. The only saving grace are the SRO's from Lower Gwynedd Police. Overall, though, teachers put in an immense amount of sincere, well-intended effort even though they are not well thanked for it, and your kids will be well-prepared for college. PS, our football team kinda sucks.
I attended Wissahickon School District for elementary, middle and high school. Wissahickon takes pride in hiring passionate teachers. I especially noticed their progressive curriculum, which had a different goal for the students each year. For example, their "Unity in Diversity" motto was one that I felt reflected in the school district greatly. Lastly, they have a wonderful art and music program.
Wissahickon has a very diverse and open group of staff and teachers that work individually with students to help them achieve their goals. They give great attention to the safety and welfare of their students and provide individual attention to each and every one of their students to assist them with any challenges they may face. They provide clubs and activities for all different interests and address all current issues and problems facing today's youth- bullying, cyberbullying, social media, etc. They also push students to challenge themselves in rigorous classes and subjects, including AP and accelerated courses. Wissahickon is a close bound community with a group of very determined and hardworking staff and students alike.
