New Hanover-Upper Frederick Elementary

Tucked into the rolling farmland of western Montgomery County — right on the Berks County border — New Hanover-Upper Frederick Elementary sits in the kind of quietly rural community where kids still know their neighbors and class sizes feel genuinely personal. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack overall, with a notable strength in science that makes it a nice fit for families raising curious, outdoorsy kids who love asking "why." Boyertown Area is a well-regarded district with a strong local identity, and for families looking for small-town Pennsylvania life with a reasonable commute to the Route 422 corridor, this corner of Frederick Township has a lot of understated appeal.
