Want to learn about Pennsbury, Council Rock, Central Bucks, or any school district in Bucks County?
One of the most important considerations people have, in trying to decide where to move, is the quality of education provided by the school district.
Anyone who knows me, knows how passionate I am about education. In fact, having grown up in Trenton, New Jersey, I serve on the board of the Trenton Public Education Foundation. Our organizations mission is to broker, foster and leverage resources that enhance and promote educational opportunities for the students in the Trenton School District.
We are extremely fortunate, in the general Bucks County area, to have a variety of very strong, public school districts. Whether considering Pennsbury, Council Rock, Central Bucks, or any of the many, award wining districts, prospective buyers always want to know my thoughts about which district is, “best”.
I actually have a school district comparison link on my main website, at buckscountypatoday.com. There are actually a number of websites that offer a variety of ways of comparing school districts.
One of the best local resources, is the report done every year, by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Inquirer’s 13th annual report card on area schools, was in yesterday’s (April 11th, 2010) edition.
Click here to see the report, online.
The report is an extremely comprehensive analysis of all the local public school districts, in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and incldues information on private schools, as well.
There is a very interesting story on the new focus on sciences that is taking place in our various districts.
There is actually a breakdown of how schools are doing with science tests, in 4th grade.
There is a comparison on spending, salaries academics and other factors.
You will find a test score comparison for 8th and 11th grade science, as well.
There are other test score comparisons, as well.
The report breaks down what is offered at high schools throughout the region.
You will also find a breakdown of the ususal math and reading test scores at various grade levels, as well.
Overall, this is one of the best and most comprehensive school reports provided locally, and I highly recommend it if you are looking at comparing school districts.
I will have hard copies available. Please contact me, if you would like to receive a hard copy.
