Abington

With just over 2,000 students, our district is small enough for staff and students to develop strong connections. Though our size also limits some of our resources and programs, we partner with local districts and Collaboratives to meet the needs of our students in creative ways.

We have one school per grade level:
PreK is part of the 5-12 building complex
Grades K – 2 Beaver Brook Elementary School
Grades 3 – 4 Woodsdale Elementary School
Grades 5 – 8 Abington Middle School
Grades 9 – 12 Abington High School
