School Overview

Sylvan Heights Science CS is a charter school in Harrisburg with a STEM-focused mission, though its academic outcomes currently place it in the lower tier of Pennsylvania schools. Harrisburg itself is a small capital city with a tight-knit community feel, and families drawn to this school are likely those who appreciate the science and technology emphasis and believe in the school's longer-term potential. It may be a good fit for families looking for an alternative to their neighborhood school who want a more focused academic theme in a school that is still finding its footing.
