They have fun school functions like dances and Color Wars. Keith Valley has something for every student to get involved in, from band (the band teacher and community is just great), to Student Council, to Art Club, there is a space for everyone to feel comfortable and excited at Keith Valley. Most teachers are purely delightful, as they inform parents regularly, get kids excited about the subject, and are overall good people. I have had a wonderful experience at Keith Valley and I know many others that have, too.

This school is so absolutely ridiculous. I've been harassed for being a part of LGBTQ. Im called my deadname daily by other students and nothing happens to these children. I know many people getting bullied here, yet no effective consequence for the bullies. As for children doing the right thing, they put them on the announcements broadcasted to the entire school without permission. For children with anxiety or being bullied this just makes it worse and I don't understand why theyre not comprehending this. This school doesn't care about students' wellbeing (some teachers do, but not admin) and doesn't know how to punish children properly so they won't act out again.

Hello, I am a graduate from Hatboro Horsham Highschool and I was just reflecting on my experience in middle school with a roommate in college. I had a horrifying experience when I was younger with the school "guidance counselor" Andrew Obsborne. Without getting into many details, I was not a trouble maker in school. However, I was falsely accused of something and sent to his office. For the entire day this man called me names, threatened me, and humiliated me in front of friends. He kept me in his office and refused to let me leave or go to lunch over something that arguably could have been solved with a 5 minute conversation. This is something I will never forget and that I believe has hindered me from being able to make close connections with male authority figures in my life. I know of people who have had similar experiences with this man. I am putting this out there because I want to warn other parents of how harmful he could be to a young child, and to tell parents that they should go to the school and advocate for their kids if they ever have a problem with him. Also, I just will never be able to let this go so I'm leaving this review.Thanks!

I am a student here and this school has went downhill. The teachers expect way to much from their students and are not helpful. The timelines for projects are way to short. They get mad and frustrated when we ask for help and if you don't do your homework or get a bad grade they will make you feel bad, make it noticeable or announce it to the other kids in the class. Also, the kids here are inappropriate, rude and very judgmental towards other kids. I hate it here.

Guys.. It's not all that great. I am a current student here and I am being severely bullied. The teachers do NOTHING. Also the teachers just give us packets to do or just to take notes. The guidance here is so uncaring. They say you can come anytime but you really can't. If you do they'll yell at you. I absolutely hate the P.E. teachers. They are on the assumption that I don't interact with people at all.

Everyone thinks this school is all fairytales and gumdrops and candycanes. Which is wrong. This school treated me like I was gum on the bottom of their shoe. The stereotypes there are so intense. If you're from Hatboro, you're automatically considered "ghetto" or "poor." The rich kids are the ones treated like royalty. I was severely bullied here. I hated walking into the building. I know I can't blame my experience on the kids, but it was the teachers, too. They saw what was going on in the hallways, and did nothing to stop it. Didn't even ask me about it. Even worse, those teachers will stress you out until you're crying. They only care if you're failing, just so they don't get reprimanded. And the failing kids...the teachers think it's the kids fault! Not something going on at home, not stress...they just think it's pure laziness. The kids there are also truly inappropriate. I learned "the talk" by the time sixth grade ended. They're also bullies, as I mentioned before. I now to go Log College Middle School in Warminster, which is much better suited for me. If you have a choice, choose Centennial.
