School Overview

Dover Area Elementary sits in the quiet, semi-rural stretch of York County just north of the city of York, where you get that small-town feel without being too far from everything. The school punches well above average statewide, with particularly strong math and science scores that stand out even in a competitive Pennsylvania landscape. Families who want a grounded, community-rooted school with solid academics — and don't mind a neighborhood where kids still play outside and neighbors know each other — will feel right at home here.
