The Upper Perkiomen School District has an excellent reputation throughout Pennsylvania and the nation. It has four schools --
two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school -- serving approximately 3,500 students. Each of the four schools
has been recognized by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School, its highest award of excellence; very
few school districts in the nation have had all of their schools designated as blue ribbon schools.
High school students interested in a technical career may attend the Western Center for Technical Studies in Limerick. Providing
skill and academic instruction using state-of-the-art equipment and instructional styles, the Center customizes programs for
individuals according to their career interest.
The Upper Perkiomen Valley region has a wealth of local colleges, including affordable two-year community colleges, and
universities with national and international reputations. Just recently the Montgomery County Community College opened a
branch in nearby Pottstown. From the greater Lehigh Valley to Philadelphia, excellent state universities and private
colleges are within easy commuting distance.
