School Overview

Tucked into the rolling hills of Bedford County, Chestnut Ridge Senior High School is a small-town school that consistently punches above its weight, particularly in math, where it ranks in the 90th percentile statewide. Families drawn to rural Pennsylvania living — think tight-knit communities, outdoor recreation, and a slower pace — will find a school that takes academics seriously without losing that small-school feel where students aren't just a number. New Paris and the surrounding area offer a genuinely quiet, agricultural lifestyle, and for families who want strong academics alongside that kind of community, Chestnut Ridge delivers.
