One-campus cohesion
Most of the district shares a single New Hope campus — siblings in different grades are neighbors, and the school community operates at village scale.
The River Corridor’s District
New Hope-Solebury School District
Four schools, one shared campus culture — a small district serving the county’s most storied riverside townships.
New Hope-Solebury School District serves exactly two municipalities — New Hope Borough and Solebury Township, including the villages of Lahaska, Carversville, and Lumberville. The structure is elegant: a Lower Elementary campus for kindergarten through second grade, an Upper Elementary for grades three through five, then the middle school and high school, with most of the system sharing one campus at the edge of New Hope.
This is one of the smallest districts in the county by enrollment, and families choose it for exactly that: small classes, a walkable-campus feel, and the Lions identity that binds a pair of townships better known to outsiders for galleries, inns, and river views. For buyers, the district line is simple — if the address is New Hope or Solebury, this is the district.
