Schools in Forest County

Forest County offers Pennsylvania's most intimate public school footprint — just two elementary schools serving the entire county, both operating under a single district. Neither school ranks among the state's top performers, though East Forest Elementary in Marienville leads the pair at the 69th percentile statewide, a respectable showing for a small rural district. West Forest Elementary in Tionesta trails at the 37th percentile. Families weighing this county should understand they're looking at a very limited set of options shaped more by geography and scale than by academic breadth — small class environments, but modest statewide standing.
