I have had a wonderful experience with the teachers at Hepburn-Lycoming and the quality of the education that my child is receiving. The teachers that I have dealt with are hard-working and dedicating to instilling a strong educational foundation in the children in their classroom.

I am a 2024 graduate of WAHS. Coming from a good student, who took 8 AP classes over four years and got a majority of As, who was involved in music, athletics, and several clubs, Williamsport High School is simply a poor school. I am in college now, and compared to my peers here, I am completely unprepared to the point of being behind (even though, as said before, I was an excellent student in high school). The teachers generally don't care about their students, and only want them to "do well" so it doesn't appear that they are doing a poor job teaching. Because of this, the grade inflation is ridiculous. For example, I took AP Calculus, and, without learning anything in class (the teacher was simply not a teacher), I still managed to get high B's and A's. If your kid does their work, they will get good grades, but will be entirely unprepared for life after high school, especially if they attend a more competitive college. Granted, there are a few (a few) good-quality teachers (my psychology and German teachers were wonderful, as well as my AP English teacher Junior year), but, in my opinion, they are unable to truly teach well and challenge their students because of the aforementioned grade-inflation problem. The school does not produce free-thinkers, well versed in critical thinking, but rather kids who know how to write a 5-paragraph essay (entirely useless after high school), and who have been conditioned to not challenge themselves. Don't send your kid there.
