Academy Park High School is a four-year public high school in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania. The school's mascot is the Knight. It is currently the only high school in the Southeast Delco School District. The current principal is Dr. Edward Small. Academy Park High School was formed in the fall of 1982; however, the current Academy Park building did not open until the fall of 1984. In the interim, the old Collingdale and Sharon Hill high schools were used as an east and west campus for the new school. The former Darby Township High School was converted into Ashland Middle School. Portions of the old Collingdale High School still stand, serving as the town’s borough hall and a municipal court, while the old Sharon Hill High School was demolished. Though the building is gone, the school’s former football field serves as home to the Academy Park Knights. Academy Park’s first principal, Agnes M. Paterson, was an active supporter of the school’s activities and students. She died unexpectedly in the spring of 1987 after attending a performance of the school district’s annual spring musical. The school’s auditorium has been named in her honor. Academy Park High School has drawn criticism due to having low PSSA scores and have joined in the benchmark testing to help improve these scores. There has been much criticism of the school board's running of the district. ==Academic achievement== In 2009, the high school is in Corrective Action II 3rd Year due to chronically low academic achievement and a low graduation rate. In 2011, the school made Adequate Yearly progress, placing its status into "Making Progress",in its first year under Dr. Small. That achievement was not repeated after that year however and, as of 2014, the School Performance Profile score for Academy Park was 52.5, placing it in the 'Not Making Satisfactory Progress' designation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Academy Park High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
