Central Bucks Mission Statement

The Central Bucks Schools will provide all students with the academic and problem solving skills essential for personal development, responsible citizenship, and life long learning.

General Information
Central Bucks is a suburban school district located in the heart of
Bucks County, with administrative offices in Doylestown, the
county seat. The district includes nine municipalities: the Boroughs
of Chalfont, Doylestown, and New Britain; and the Townships of
Buckingham, Doylestown, New Britain, Plumstead, Warrington,
and Warwick. Central Bucks has an area of 122 square miles and a
population of over 101,000.

Currently CB is the third largest school district in the state, and one of the fastest growing. Just over 20,000 students are educated in our fifteen elementary, five middle and three high schools. An award-winning staff development program and careful planning for growth have resulted in a very consistent and stable district, even with such a large student enrollment. PSSA test scores are highest in the county, 4th highest in the tri-county area and 6th highest in the state. 92% of CB students further their education at two and four year colleges, and CB has a graduation rate of more than 99%.

Central Bucks students also score very highly on the four "transition tasks" given at key points throughout their education. In third, sixth, ninth and twelfth grade all students are assessed on projects that test: mastery of knowledge, time management and written and oral skills.

Art, music, technology and physical education classes are provided to all students. Secondary students can choose from nearly fifty clubs or teams to enhance their skills and leadership abilities. Each high school also offers eighteen advanced placement classes.

98% of Central Bucks special education students are placed in the district. Currently, 11% of the student population receive these special education services, and an additional 7% receive gifted education services.

In the spring of 2005, Central Bucks received the "Ambassador Award" from the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce. This award is presented to organizations or individuals whose reputations cross county boundaries and attract attention to our community. Central Bucks is proud to be an Ambassador for our community, and proud to welcome you to our community.
