Wissahickon Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.87 out of 5 268 reviews
Some strengths of Wissahickon High School are its great programs, classes, and plenty of clubs and sports for anyone to find something they enjoy. I would personally say their weakness comes in listening to its students concerns, especially when it comes to complaints about teachers not doing their jobs or being unprofessional, but there are only about three specific teachers who fall under that category. I would say that overall I would personally send my kids to school in the future if I were going to have any, it has great opportunities and a great community behind it.
My experience with Wissahickon high school was very unique compared to students of other years. My freshman year got cut short because of covid and the next year I struggled maintaining a hybrid classes. Wissahickon, I will say, did the best they could do helping students pick what would fit best for their learning amongst all the chaos and struggles. While we did struggle throughout the years with violence and issues. The school made sure to find thoughtful solutions to help make the school a safe space for everyone. I am very thankful for my High school experience to be there. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else :)
Thought my time at Wissahickon I feel like feel like academically it was very difficult but that would have been fine if the staff and teachers were supportive. I felt as though the teachers weren't supportive and I felt the same way when it came to the guidance councilors. It felt as though they were there to discourage you, once I was told by my councilor that I wouldn't get into college.I also felt as though the students were very rude towards one another and that there was always a certain amount of negativity surrounding any situation.
