About schools in Chester County

Across Chester County's 19 districts, academic performance trends remarkably consistent — 58 of 98 ranked public schools land in the top quartile statewide, a concentration of strong results that stretches from West Chester to Downingtown to Exton. That consistency doesn't mean uniformity: Downingtown STEM Academy sits at the 100th percentile statewide, drawing students into a specialized program that stands apart from the county's otherwise traditional district structure. Elementary schools hold their own as well, with Brandywine-Wallace and Pickering Valley Elementary both reaching the 99th percentile. Families moving to the area will find that high performance isn't confined to a single district or corner of the county.
