School Districts

Hi,

 We are looking to move in the near future and school districts are a top priority.  I was wondering if you could tell anything about the following school districts:

N. Penn**

Souderton

Perkiomen Valley

Spring-Ford 

They all rank 9/10 on greatschools.org, so this doesn't really help me out.  **I also hear "N. Penn is a really good school district" but never WHY it is a great school district.  I also recently heard from a friend that her friend is pulling her kids out of the elementary school b/c they were unhappy. 

 I am not on this board a lot but you all have been really helpful in the past.  Thanks!

Re: School Districts

  • I don't know why either, but I have two friends who recently moved and were specifically looking in the N. Penn district versus Springford. I know her daughter is starting kindergarten in the fall, but that they also have no plans of moving again.

  • I dont know much about any of those school districts but I do know that North Penn is HUGE (at least at the highschool level). To me thats okay, but for some people thats a deal breaker. I too have heard good things about North Penn but I dont know specifics, sorry ;/

  • North Penn is known to be a very good school district, however, like kross stated it is a very large school, especially at the high school level. Also, Souderton is also considered a very good school and it is not nearly as large as N. Penn. Either way, both school systems are highly rated.
  • we're thinking of possibly moving to springford or p.v... our realtor told us that springford is probably the best around. 
  • I would say N. Penn and Springford seem to have the best names on the list. I am a product of N. Penn and have to say I feel I had a great education. The graduating classes are around 1,000 students which is a lot and the school is huge, but it does offer quite a bit. I think it will really depend on where you want to live.

    N. Penn is the most typical suburban district I would say. Closest to the city, although not that close. Some of those others reach out into what I would consider too rural for my tastes, but I grew up in Philly so what do I know, haha.

     If you want more specific info about N. Penn I would be happy to tell you about my thoughts and feelings, trust me there was a lot I didnt like too.....I just dont want to post a novel on here. Private message me if you have any questions
