This school does one thing, put the student and community to shame. When ever I speak to a parent from another all they can say is sorry maybe you should send your daughter to another school. Even the teachers cannot spell grattitude, it does not have two i's.

this is an amazing school and should be rated number one. The teachers encourage the students to play sports and to achive for the higher goals. Haverling not only has an amazing curriculum but when teachers from other schools come up to me and say ' haverling is a great school i cant believe the respect and grattiitude the students show towards each other'. Its an amazing school and the sports teams are even better. Including the cheerleading teams.

I think this school needs to stop the ongoing bullying thats going on here , the teachers and principal do nothing about it...personally im sick and tired of dealing with it everyday ..my child should not be worried about going to school everyday..and be bullied ...when they are there to learn...

This is a great school with not only good teaching but a great extracurricular activities. It could be a lot worse, I went to a worse one it was called Addison Central School.

My child attended this school from kindergarten through the 7th grade . I took him out of this school in the middle of the 2006 school year because of the poor quality of teaching abilites. Also poor communication skills from teacher to parent that affected my childs success . There are to many negative issues to address about this school . I would give them a poor review.

Truly an excellent school. The teachers especially have had a great impact on my daughter's life. The level of caring shown by the teachers has impressed me the most. When I asked why this was so, I was told simply that, 'That's what a middle school is all about.' They teach the whole child and help meet so many of the needs not met in so many of our homes. I have had my kids in 3 schools in two different states and by far Haverling outshines the others. My kids have loved it and so do I.

A few of the teachers seem to be very poor role models with a very large tendancy to drive down a student's self-esteem. Providing students with the tools they need to learn in a positive and encouraging environment does not seem to be part of this schools objectives for educational success.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in english language arts, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, earth science, physics and several foreign languages. The results for english language arts, math, living environment, chemistry, earth science, physics, global history and geography, US history and government, french, italian, and spanish are displayed in GreatSchools profiles. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
