Twelfth & Marion Elementary School

Reading is a city with deep roots and a tight-knit community feel, and Twelfth & Marion Elementary reflects that character — it's a neighborhood school serving families in an urban setting where educators work hard amid real challenges. Families drawn here tend to be committed to their local community and value a school that's part of the fabric of daily life in this historic Berks County city. While test scores are modest compared to state averages, the school shows relatively brighter spots in science, which may appeal to parents who are engaged and looking to supplement their child's education through Reading's local resources and community programs.
