School Overview

Penncrest High School sits in Media, a walkable Delaware County borough that locals affectionately call "Everybody's Hometown" — and the school fits that character well, blending strong academics with a grounded, community feel. Test scores consistently rank among the best in the state, with particularly standout performance in English and Science, making it a great fit for families who want rigorous preparation without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of more competitive suburban districts. If you're looking to settle in a town with a real Main Street, good restaurants, and a strong sense of place, the Rose Tree Media district — and Penncrest specifically — is well worth a close look.
