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.

Overall I have had a good experience at Abington Heights High school, they have challenging classes and decent teachers, however the facilities and building are extremely outdated.

Abington Heights has a reputation of a great school to educate students in the NEPA area, a reputation that is true to the school. A excellent education system, only with flaws that are shared with almost every school across America.

I moved to the school district when I was a freshman, and coming into Abington Heights seemed like a daunting and overwhelming experience. Yet I remember feeling immediately at ease on my first day of school and I have loved it at AHHS ever since. I am now a senior at AHHS and I know I will miss the school, my peers, and my teachers a lot once I graduate but will always cherish the memories I made at my high school.

The school was horrible.The teachers never actually taught anything and would sometimes bully the students. Bullying is rampant and very violent. And home work was confusing and difficult to the point where at least 17 students dropped out because of them

The school ain't great but it's better than many of the schools in the area. I wouldn't say to not send your kids here but the administration can be corrupt and value athletics over education. Also, there seems to be a big drug problem in the school that seriously needs to be addressed.
