Mission
Our mission is to prepare each student academically, socially, emotionally, and physically to reach his or her full potential through the committed efforts and support of students, staff, parents and community in a positive, safe, and challenging learning environment.
Stillwater High School
Stillwater High School serves approximately 274 students in a rural setting located in Saratoga County. The close-knit learning community at SHS stresses rigor, relevance and relationships primarily through the many college level courses offered at the high school and small, personal classroom experiences with access to state-of-the-art technological learning tools. All students are encouraged to engage in college courses; either Advanced Placement, College in the High School or courses offered online.
The Community
Stillwater has the largest acreage for any village, town, or city in Saratoga County. The town and village encompass the areas between Saratoga Lake to the west and the Hudson River to the east. There are approximately 9,042 residents in Stillwater (2020 Census).
Class Rank
SHS derives a class rank for each student based on the weighted average obtained in each course. The three year cumulative average obtained in grades 9-11 coupled with the average obtained at the end of the first semester (January) of the senior year is considered for ranking purposes. Grades reported on transcripts are weighted.
