About schools in Jefferson County
Punxsutawney and Brockway anchor Jefferson County's public school landscape, and it's no coincidence that the county's strongest performers are rooted in both towns. Punxsutawney Area High School ranks at the 77th percentile statewide, while Brockway Area JSHS sits just behind at 76th — together placing two of Jefferson County's seven ranked schools in the top quartile of Pennsylvania. Four districts serve this rural northwestern Pennsylvania county, keeping schools relatively small and community-oriented. Families drawn to the region will find a compact but competitive public school scene that holds its own against much larger Pennsylvania counties.
