Three high-school regions
CB West (est. 1952), CB East (1969), and CB South (2004) each lead their own feeder chain — the attendance region is a real factor in home searches across the district.
The County’s Largest District
Central Bucks School District
Twenty-three schools across the heart of the county — the district that anchors more Bucks County home searches than any other.
Central Bucks is the largest school district in Bucks County and one of the largest in Pennsylvania: fifteen elementary schools, five middle schools, and three comprehensive high schools spread across Doylestown, Buckingham, Warrington, Chalfont, New Britain, Warwick, and Plumstead. The scale brings breadth — deep course catalogs, extensive athletics and arts, and facilities that smaller districts cannot match.
The district’s footprint defines the central Bucks housing market. The three high schools — CB West in Doylestown, CB East in Buckingham, and CB South in Warrington — each anchor their own attendance region with its own feeder pattern of elementary and middle schools, and locals talk in those terms: a West address, an East address, a South address. The grade structure is distinctive too: elementary runs K–6, middle school covers 7–9, and the high schools take grades 10–12.

What families should know about Central Bucks
Unusual grade bands
Central Bucks runs K–6 elementaries, 7–9 middle schools, and 10–12 high schools — a structure that gives ninth graders a year of middle-school leadership before the big campuses.
Depth at scale
Twenty-three schools mean unusually deep programs — music, theater, athletics, languages, and advanced coursework with the enrollment to sustain all of it.
Fifteen neighborhood elementaries
From Warwick Elementary (1919) to Bridge Valley (2004), the K–6 schools keep young students close to their neighborhoods across seven municipalities.
