At the October 26, 2021, meeting of the Abington School District Board of School Directors, the Board voted unanimously for Abington Junior High School to become Abington Middle School, effective July 1, 2022.
The name change coincides with Abington School District’s Grade Span Reconfiguration, which will go into effect at the start of the 2022-2023 school year, when Abington Middle School will become a school for grades 6-8 (Abington Junior High School currently serves grades 7-9). During this transition, the 9th grade will move up to Abington Senior High School, while the 6th grade will move from all seven Abington School District elementary schools to Abington Middle School.
The differences between a middle school and junior high concept were reviewed at the October 26th meeting to explain the changes to the public. More information regarding the Grade Span Reconfiguration is available via the following website.
