GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This elementary school is where I became an enlightened individual. The staff always supported every student. As a matter of fact, I recall in 3rd grade when I threw a tennis ball on the roof on accident and a certain teacher decided to scale the entire brick wall using only one arm to retrieve the ball. Beautiful campus. I actually tried getting held back multiple times in order to further my personal and intellectual development in these facilities.

Great. The faculty works hand in hand with the parents to address concerns.

I was a parent with children attending this school for 19 years. The staff is absolutely amazing! The needs of education for each individual child are met.There is also a very strong sense of community with the families here. It was hard to say goodbye when my youngest recently graduated.

Teachers & principal are very good & caring fostering a safe environment. We wish we had enrolled our kids there earlier after the whole catholic school debacle. The only recommendation is the Abington School District should install counselors in their Elementary schools.
