Despite its modest academic ranking—currently at 19th percentile among schools in Pennsylvania—the close-knit community fosters strong personal connections between staff and students, providing ample support for individual needs.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 46 students, Tower Hill School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, Tower Hill School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.

Located in a rural area, Tower Hill School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
