Barth EL Sch

Barth Elementary School earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10, rated Exceptional, and holds the top spot among all 15 public schools in Pottstown. That standing carries statewide: Barth outperforms 98% of Pennsylvania public schools and ranks 71st among 2,842 schools across the state — a result that puts it in rare company for an elementary program at this enrollment size. The growth score is the headline figure.

Barth earns a perfect 10.0 on student academic growth, meaning students here advance faster than peers at schools with comparable demographics.

The school serves 313 students across pre-K through fourth grade.

A student-teacher ratio of 12 to 1 keeps class sizes small through the foundational learning years, giving teachers more direct time with early readers and math learners. For families evaluating elementary options in Pottstown, Barth's scores place it in a different tier from nearly every other school in town.
