Schools in Bradford County

About schools in Bradford County

Rome and Canton quietly produce Bradford County's most competitive public schools, even if none crack Pennsylvania's top quartile. Across seven districts serving 16 ranked schools, the county stretches across rural northcentral Pennsylvania with Athens and Sayre anchoring the population in the east and smaller communities scattered throughout. Northeast Bradford Elementary in Rome leads the county at the 51st percentile statewide, with Canton JSHS and Northeast Bradford JSHS both sitting at the 49th — a cluster of solid mid-range performers. Families seeking stronger statewide standing may need to look beyond the county, but the rural districts here offer consistency across grade levels.
