This school is such a disappointment. I've had 2 kids go through this school. One of them had a horrible experience with bullying and exclusion. And the other, was completely mislabeled and never given a fair chance despite his high test scores. There is zero transparency and the teachers have the worst possible principal to lead them. She has zero regard for ethics, empathy, kindness and respect. If your child's teacher is ineffective and you have concerns, be prepared to have those concerns completely disregarded. Waverly will make you feel like you are the problem just for advocating for your child. It's so unfortunate, but unless you know these people personally for years and years, your child does not stand a chance. There is one degree of separation between everyone on this staff.Are you looking for a supportive, up to date school environment that offers differentiated instruction or a one size fits all education? If you're looking for the former, save your child years of a toxic, unhealthy environment and stay far away. Also, just like every other Abington school, Waverly is over capacity with no intention of updating their facilities.

My son went to AHHS. He was enrolled in the honors program there for three years. He has acute ADHD. He had an IEP. The coursework was challenging. The special ed department was responsive. The vast majority of teachers were excellent. He came out of it with a 3.75 GPA, a scholarship award and got into 8 of the 11 colleges he applied to. I can't say what experience you or your child would have or has had in the other levels of courses there, just what I know based on a special needs kid in the honors program. But I think it is fair to say that this is a good high school at any level of teaching.I do believe high school's administration is excellent, and its teachers are capable, and the staff courteous. This was demonstrated in 10th, 11th and 12th grades. 9th grade we kept our son virtual because a vaccine wasn't yet available for his age group. He got bullied in the lower grades and that carried into high school. So his extracurricular participation was outside of the school and I can't comment on that aspect of the high school experience. But bullying can happen anywhere, or everywhere. There were just a couple teachers in the four years my son attended Abington Heights High School who were difficult, in relation to the IEP. But we stayed on top of that and the special ed department was always responsive to our interests and concerns. My son has started college and so I have a new perspective on his high school years. I am certain there are few better high schools and many poorer ones.

this school was real strict if you would do one little thing wrong like look at the vice princabl the wrong way then you would get written up. but abington heights high school is great so far.
