Brandywine Heights High School

Tucked into the rolling farmland of Berks County, Brandywine Heights High School serves a tight-knit rural community where Friday night football and small-town traditions still carry real meaning. The school shows particular strength in science relative to its other subjects, which may appeal to families with kids who lean toward hands-on, applied learning. Mertztown itself is quiet and agricultural — a good fit for families who want a slower pace of life within an hour's drive of both Reading and Allentown.
