Bywood Elementary School

Upper Darby is one of the most diverse townships in Pennsylvania, and Bywood Elementary reflects that energy — it's a school where a wide range of cultures and backgrounds come together in a close-knit community setting. Academically, the school faces some challenges, landing in the lower percentiles in English, math, and science statewide, so families with strong academic priorities may want to factor that in alongside other considerations. That said, families who value diversity, community connection, and the affordable, accessible neighborhoods of Delaware County just outside Philadelphia often find Upper Darby to be a genuinely welcoming place to put down roots.
