About schools in Centre County
Eighteen of Centre County's 28 ranked public schools land in the top quartile statewide — a concentration of strong performance that stands out even against Pennsylvania's most competitive counties. The State College Area School District drives much of that, with State College Area High School ranking at the 98th percentile and Ferguson Township Elementary School and Park Forest Middle School each reaching the 95th. Spread across six districts and a mix of college-town and rural communities — from State College to Bellefonte to Port Matilda — the county offers families a notably consistent academic floor, not just isolated peaks.
