Great district to be in, the community surrounding is awesome! Teachers academics are great! Although there is definite improvement needed in the facilities at the school (ceiling, rats, heating/cooling).
Review Wissahickon School District
I graduated from Wissahickon High School in June 2015 and was in the district since kindergarten. I had a great experience at WSD. Everyone who worked there was committed to helping each student reach their full potential. I was put in a setting where I was challenged as both the students and the teachers cared. I also grew a lot throughout my time in the district and my teachers really helped me get out of my shell. I felt very well prepared for college as I took several AP classes and honors courses, and even if I didn't take AP classes I feel as if I would have been prepared as the college guidance was helpful for me. The school district is really a community. The teachers make the effort to get to know each student and also the parents. The families I grew up with were close as well. The relationships formed through the district enhanced my experience.
My experience at Wissahickon High school was overall a very positive one. I served as captain of the internationally-recognized robotics team, and had many pleasant interactions with faculty and administration throughout my four years as a student there. I was stimulated in my classes and was given many opportunities to succeed academically, which allowed me to become an AP Scholar and earn a considerable scholarship to Temple University.
