Abingdon High School heavily struggles with support and respect for its students. There are few teachers and administrators willing to sit down one on one with students to guide them into their adult life and thrive academically.

abingdon high school is an overall decent school. it has many different sports and programs you can join. only bad thing is theres not much diversity an the foods not the best but it has its good days an sometimes the people can be a bit much but its overall great and you can also achieve a-lot academically. best advice i could give is to make sure your really trying in your classes and dont wait till the last minute to get assignments in.

I believe that Abingdon High School is only a mediocre school with the potential to achieve more for their students. I wish our clubs were bigger and taken more seriously, I wish some of the teachers were reconsidered as hires, and I wish that the school were nicer looking and appealing on the inside.
