T/E School District Ranked #1 in America
Niche.com recently released their 2016 Public K-12 School Rankings and Tredyffrin/Easttown School District was ranked #1 in the state and #1 in the nation. In addition, Conestoga High School was ranked #1 in Pennsylvania and #31 in the U.S. The District earned A+ grades in Academics, Administration & Policies, Educational Outcomes, Extracurriculars, Food, Health & Safety, Resources & Facilities, Sports & Fitness and Teachers. Niche.com created these rankings by analyzing a combination of school data and parent/student survey responses. Dr. Richard Gusick, T/E's Superintendent of Schools, stated, "This ranking is made possible when a talented, committed staff, supportive parents and an engaged community come together to teach the best kids anyone could ever hope to serve."
 
In 2015, Niche.com ranked T/E third in the nation. All of the details on Niche.com's 2016 Public K-12 School Rankings can be viewed at the following link: https://k12.niche.com/rankings.
