Tussey Mountain High School

Tucked into the ridges and hollows of Bedford County, Tussey Mountain High School serves the kind of tight-knit rural community where teachers know students by name and school events are a genuine centerpiece of town life. The school's math program is a real standout, placing well above the state midpoint, making it a solid fit for families who want rigorous STEM coursework without leaving their small-town roots behind. Saxton and the surrounding area offer a slower pace, outdoor recreation along the Raystown Lake corridor, and the sense that your kid isn't just a number — appealing to families who value community connection as much as academics.
