Abington Junior High School Reviews

Reviewed

by a Parent Anonymous

This school represent the old racist practices of America and I would not recommend this school to non-white students. Their teaching practices do not align with the state standards and though the classrooms are small, the teachers are not caring and will isolate a child who does not fit their idea of a white student. The school creates hostile learning experiences while not encouraging students to reach their fullest potential but rather to fit into a mold that is cultural. Accepting cultural differences is not a practice of this school. I would not recommend this school to your child unless you are desiring to throw your child to the wolves because devouring is a common practice of this school. My experience there has been extremely negative and I am desiring to make people aware of their practices because they are a large organization who have historically caused grief for many minorities.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
