What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, February 4, 2022

Pros: Strath Haven High School is a great institution academically. The small class sizes is a plus. The academics can be difficult, but the students are given the tools to succeed in class and beyond. The students have access to a variety of clubs that keep the students engaged/active outside of the classroom. The students also have the opportunity to attend a Technical School to learn a trade, while attending the high school. There are a variety of sports that the students can participate in that are very competitive. The teachers are all great and usually respond immediately if there is an issue. My children loved SHHS.

Cons: Inclusion/diversity can use some improvement. As of recently there has been some racial incidents that are alarming. The incidents involve students and the district needs to devise an action plan to combat it. In addition, the Athletic Director needs to do a better job at monitoring the actions/behaviors of one coach in particular. When a parent informs the school of an issue pertaining to coaching staff, he needs to address it immediately and set boundaries. The coach in particular has no boundaries and can be offensive. Currently there are no consequences for the coaches actions. The coach is the reason that some students have stepped away from competing on behalf of the school. Close Quote
