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.

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.

Haverford High School is a (Philadelphia) suburban school with about 2000 kids in 9-12 grades. As a parent, I feel my kids have gotten a good education. There have been some scheduling conflicts over the their 4 years here. They are in the band and orchestra (great experiences!) so they needed alternating day classes. (They have A & B schedules and some classes only meet on A day or B day, such as music classes.) The options for alternating days have been very limited, which has been frustrating for my kids. Overall, we have been very pleased with their experience here.

Haverford is an amazing school! Teachers, staff, admins, students and parents are all great to work with. If I had kids I wouldn't hesitate to send them here. I have taught and worked in other schools, and Haverford is by far the very best.
