Methacton School District Ranked 79th In PA: New Study

EAGLEVILLE, PA— Methacton School District placed 79th in a ranking of school districts in Pennsylvania, according to a new study from the Pittsburgh Business Times.

The score comes from the recently published 2025 School Guide, which ranked districts based on scores from the past three years of PSSA and Keystone Exams standardized tests.

The placing was good enough for 10th in Montgomery County.

The Business Times analysis was strictly based on scores, and did not include other metrics sometimes used in similar school rankings, like AP scores, college outcomes, safety, culture and diversity, sports and clubs, and more. While the analysis does provide one window in student performance, it is not a holistic consideration and comparison of every district.

Seven of Montgomery County's 23 districts ranked in the top 50 statewide, while 12 were in the top 100. Nearly 500 districts were surveyed on the list, which included nearly every single district statewide.

Here's how the rest of Montgomery County fared based on test scores, with their statewide ranking listed:
