RANKINGS ON THE RISE

We are fighting our way back from not only the pandemic-induced learning challenges but also from a steady decline in scores and ratings before we took office.

Increased Improvement

​

This graph from the Public School Review shows the drop in test scores from 2016 through 2019. Following our first year on the board and under our newly appointed Superintendent Hatboro-Horsham High School's testing rank has increased significantly.

Moving Forward
​

We're proud that our efforts, the efforts of our administrators, and especially our students' efforts are paying off. But we know there is still more to be done. We're committed to continuing our work to improve the level of education here at the HHSD—not only just at the high school level but in the elementary and middle school grades, as well.

HHSD proficiency is significantly above the State average in English and Math, with some improvement needed in Science.  You will note a drop in state scores as well through the COVID timeframe.
