Schools in Apollo-Ridge SD · Armstrong County

Rural and riverine, Armstrong County stretches across the rolling hills and river valleys of western Pennsylvania, where five districts serve a spread-out population across communities like Kittanning, Leechburg, and Ford City. That geography breeds variety — 19 ranked public schools ranging widely in performance, yet seven crack the state's top quartile. The standout is Freeport Area Senior High School, ranking at the 98th percentile statewide, with South Buffalo Elementary from the same district also placing at the 87th percentile alongside Leechburg Area High School. Families willing to look beyond the county's modest size will find genuinely competitive options here.
