Spring-Ford Area School District - List of Schools

List of Schools

Attendance at elementary schools (K-4) is determined by place of residency within the school district. While the elementary schools below are grouped by municipality, students residing in other municipalities most likely attend that school alongside students from the municipality in which the school is located. Above 4th Grade, all students within the school district attend schools by grade, regardless of place of residency within the school district.

Most of the elementary schools are named based on location, although Brooke and Evans are named after two of the founding families of Limerick Township.

Due to the unprecedented rapid growth of the school district in the 1990s, many of these school buildings have changed roles a number of times through the years.

The current 8th Grade Center was originally the Royersford Junior/Senior High School, hosting grades 7 through 12. From 1961 to 1982, it served as the Spring-Ford Junior High School, hosting grades 7 through 9. It was later converted to a middle school that hosted grades 6 through 8.

The 9th Grade Center was built in 1961 and was used as the Spring-Ford Senior High School for grades 10 through 12 until 1982, when it hosted grades 9 through 12. After the new high school was built, it hosted grades 7 and 8 before being converted to the 9th Grade Center.

One of the buildings previously serving as the Royersford Elementary School is currently the Royersford Free Public Library, and also served as the building for the Spring-Ford Area Historical Society for a short period of time.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or schools:

    “Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    “A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.”
    —James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
