Salisbury-Elk Lick JSHS

Tucked into the rural hollows of Somerset County, Salisbury-Elk Lick is the kind of small school where everyone knows everyone — a tight-knit community school serving the farms and forested hillsides of southwestern Pennsylvania's Allegheny highlands. Families who plant roots here tend to value that small-town closeness, where kids aren't just a number and community ties run deep across generations. Academics are developing, and for families drawn to the quiet, outdoorsy pace of rural mountain life over suburban convenience, this school reflects the honest, hardworking character of the area it serves.
