2019 Elementary Schools with the Best Teachers in the Philadelphia AreaAbout this List

Lower Gwynedd Elementary School

• Wissahickon School District, PA
• K-5
• 1

Alum: I was in the second class that every graduate from Lower Gwynedd and previously attended Blue Bell Elementary before the district restructured. I continued into WMS and WHS. Lower Gwynedd is the district's premier elementary; it's the newest, conveniently located in the same complex as the high school and middle school and has a wonderful staff that's very welcoming and caring. My youngest sibling just graduated from WHS last year and several of my friends' children attend Lower Gwynedd currently, so I know it's still a fabulous school and would highly recommend it.

Buckingham Elementary School

• Central Bucks School District, PA
• K-6
• 1

Parent: As public schools go this one is a gem. Ethos of the school is driven by strong, caring administration. Focus is on character building as well as academics. Great community feel with high parent involvement. Teachers are generally passionate about teaching and understanding each child's needs. Mandatory test preparation is incorporated into the curriculum, but not at the expense of "real learning". Not enough recess time, but this is driven by outside regulations. There is is an overarching sense of joy & purpose about the place that makes Buckingham Elementary a school where teachers and students want to be.

Ithan Elementary School

• K-5

Parent: We started at Ithan last year and have had a great experience. The teachers are top notch and really care about the kids. My son flourished, was challenged, was well supported and made a ton of great friends. There are tons of opportunities for parent and family involvement, and all of the ithan families we have met so far have been wonderful and very involved in their kids education. There seems to be good support for special education needs and great communication from the school. Looking forward to the next many years at Ithan with all of our kids!
