Mattison Avenue Elementary School was formerly in Ambler. In 1975 someone had proposed combining grades 2-3, but the school board that year canceled the proposal. The school closed in 2013, and its territory was divided between Lower Gwynedd and Shady Grove elementary schools. The WSD Head Start, formerly in the Mattison Avenue school, continued to operate, but had to move somewhere else. In 2015 the Ambler borough hall began to occupy the former school. There was an Ambler Junior High School. It closed by 1975. That year there was a controversy on how the school should be rezoned. A company wanted to have apartment units installed in the former junior high school property, while some members of the city council opposed this. '' The Reporter'' of Lansdale, Pennsylvania argued that the development proposals should be known to the public. There was previously another elementary school, Forest Avenue Elementary School in Ambler. By 1976 it had closed, with the district no longer using the property and leaving it unmaintained. The Senior Adults for Greater Adventure (SAGA) organization operated its Ambler center in that facility.References
