The Stillwater Central School District is a charming, rural UPK-12 district serving approximately 1,060 students that is located approximately ten miles from the Northway, with easy access from north and south. The district’s two buildings are located on the same campus, hosting three distinct schools–an elementary, middle and high school.
A small school atmosphere, individual attention and community support are just some of the things that make Stillwater unique. The district is proud to provide students with a strong academic program in core subjects, including accelerated courses, college in the high school, distance learning and a variety of electives. In addition to the traditional academic courses, the district offers competitive sports programs across three seasons and a wide range of clubs and extracurricular activities.
With a focus on continuous improvement of self and community, the Stillwater Central School District provides individualized, exceptional experiences for our students.
