Abingdon High School is a pretty fun place! Just like everything else it has it’s flaws; but, I would encourage others to attend Abingdon before anywhere else local.
Overall, my experience at Abingdon High School has not been bad. The facilities do need a lot of work, as a lot of situations I’ve experienced are genuinely dangerous. However, all of the AP teachers are amazing educators that care about teaching.
Abingdon High School isn't that bad of a school. For where I live, it's honestly one of the better schools to go to. The only problem I have with Abingdon is the scheduling. Our classes take place at weird times which don't fit with most dual enrollment and AP classes.
The overall academic quality is alright. The sports programs are rather fun! Most advanced placement classes have to be taken online and the counselors are unhelpful with scheduling such courses. They do not weight GPAs, which negatively impacts students taking higher level classes.
Abingdon Highschool was a great place to grow up around small communities and families. However, educationally speaking, this highschool was not the greatest. The teachers are bias towrds religious, sports playing students which made it hard for those who were the opposite to strive.
Abingdon High School has a very strong school spirit and support between students. However, many teachers have left in the past couple of years making it hard to schedule classes because you don’t know who the teacher is.
I found many lasting friendships and have had many encouraging teachers that have helped me to succeed. I think Abingdon High has multiple diverse classes that allow students to take part in what they are interested in. Overall, I have enjoyed high school greatly and find pride in my school.
I enjoyed the activities that the school held and I liked most of the teachers. Most of the teachers cared about all the students.
I hate this school. It is seriously awful.
I am a transfer from TN and moved to VA in second semester of Sophomore year. This place feels nothing like a school and more like a prison. They sucked the life out of fun. It is just teach teach teach. No talking making kids laugh.
They won't help you work around stuff you need. They are just there to take your money the government gives them.
Please do not put your kid through this HELL. I was trying to graduate early but they wont let me cause they don't have semester long english and history.
I could have graduated 1 whole year earlier and got close to $8,000 in scholarship money. But they are just greedy.
Ive taken an EOC in TN for biology as a freshman. Now they want me to take an SOL test for that same class at the end of my junior year.

I loved Abingdon High School! It was definitely the better school out of our county. However, one flaw of the school would be that the teachers/staff like to pick favorites, and those favorites have a lot to do with sports!
I loved my high school! Nice teachers and admin. They want you to succeed always. Plenty of testing opportunities. I do wish more classes were offered and the guidance department is not the best. Plenty of activities and opportunities for students. Through SCA, AHS really allows students to have a voice!
pretty good school. no drama social life. fair amount of AP courses and dual enrollment courses....
The overall experience was VERY average. It was likely well funded but didn't show much special about it. The major benefit of the school was the various technical schools they worked with. A majority of students just existed, or went to this place near by called the NEFF Center. They also worked well with a duel enrollment system. Teachers were a wide variety of quality. Some exceptional ones were the teachers that recognized the limitations of our interests and worked around this.
Good public high school in Southwest Virginia! Lots of opportunities to get involved with clubs and sports.
I really enjoyed my time at Abingdon high school, but some things could be changed. I think there should be a rule about no PDA in the hallways, or it should be enforced more. I know many people, including myself, who do not enjoy couples making out and all over each other in the middle of the hallways and seeing it every day. It just messes up a perfectly good day when I see something like that.
It was a decent school, nothing outstanding. Teachers were average with some oddballs either being amazing or very poor. If you're considering this town based on the school, I would suggest going elsewhere.
My experience for Abingdon High School is very good and here is why. Abingdon High School is a high school in the middle of Southwest Virginia where the students are safe and where the teachers care about your well being not just about your academics. This high school is looking to improve everyday that they are open to serve those in Washington County, Va.
