Mount Rock Elementary School

Tucked into the quiet, rural stretches of Cumberland County, Mount Rock Elementary serves the small community of Newville with consistently strong academics — particularly in English, where it ranks among the top fifth of schools statewide. Families drawn to a slower pace of life, tight-knit community feel, and solid classroom performance will find a lot to like here, especially given how competitive Pennsylvania's school rankings can be. It's the kind of place where kids grow up knowing their teachers and neighbors, with the rolling farmland of central PA as their backyard.
