ABOUT POTTSTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT

Background Information

The Pottstown Community was founded in 1752 by John Potts, colonial iron master.   It is located along the Schuylkill River in Western Montgomery County .   The estimated population is 21,000.   Pottstown , in past years, was a thriving industrial town with many employment opportunities.   Through the years, there was a shift away from industry in the Borough creating hard economic times.   However, Pottstown ’s rural, small town atmosphere has drawn new small businesses as well as many new professionals.

The Pottstown School District serves Pottstown ’s student population of 3,200 with quality learning opportunities.   The District is comprised of nine buildings.   The main Administration Building is located in close proximity to the downtown area.   There is also an Administrative Annex in the north end of town.   There are five elementary buildings:   Barth, Edgewood , Franklin , Lincoln and Rupert.   Each serves as a neighborhood learning center.   A large campus with athletic playing fields and a stadium houses the two secondary schools.   One, a traditional, but newly renovated Middle School located at one end of the campus, and the other, a more modernized four grade Senior High School with vocational facilities.
