Attending Abington was one of the most formative and valuable experiences of my life. It’s easy to overlook how special a public school can be until you realize how much it shaped who you became. This school didn’t just provide a solid academic foundation—it fostered independence, confidence, and curiosity.The teachers were deeply invested in their students, not just academically but personally. They challenged us to think critically, to speak clearly, and to take ownership of our growth. There was a sense that the faculty truly cared about preparing students for the real world, not just helping them pass exams.Equally important was the environment. The student body was diverse, grounded, and real. It wasn’t an artificial bubble—it reflected life. That experience taught resilience, perspective, and how to connect with people from all backgrounds.Looking back, I can confidently say this school played a major role in my success, both professionally and personally. It gave me the tools, discipline, and mindset to navigate the world effectively. I’m genuinely grateful for the education and experience I received here, and I would strongly recommend it to any student or parent looking for a place that develops capable, thoughtful, and well-prepared young adults.

The school is fine. The recent reviews are obviously maniplulative to sway voters. The middle school is not a horrible atmosphere for learning according to my daughter. She does not go full time but I am sure if it was so bad, she would also be affected. I think 99% of the complaints are vague and a serious lack of gratitude at play. As an immigrant I have attended schools worst off and it did/does not affect out education! I can understand a school needing repairs and wanting updates. But a school does not cost quarter or a billion dollars to build!!! The idea of a new school is about keeping up appearances.

I am not sure how the rating is calculated. Mckinley is amazing: the facilities are well kept and clean, classrooms are well equipped, amazing teachers, rigorous curriculum. School provides a lot of opportunity for those who needs more and those who needs a little help. Principal is out of this world, he knows everyone by name, listens to every parent and take an actionable steps. Community is amazing, We love our Mckinley
