Council Rock School District

The Council Rock School District, also known as CRSD, is located in lower Bucks County, in southeastern Pennsylvania. The District's administrative offices are located in one of the original school district buildings in Newtown, Pennsylvania. The building, The Chancellor Center, formerly known as The Chancellor Street School, dates back to 1871 and was remodeled in 2003. As of October 2023, the district's total enrollment is 10,501.

Overview
As of the 2020 U.S. census, the total population of the school district is 74,221. As of October 2023, the school district educates 10,501 students, K-12, and has approximately 956 teachers and supervisors, as well as clerical, custodial, and maintenance employees who support the instructional program. Contract employees for Food Service (Aramark) and Transportation (Durham School Services) round out the support personnel. The school district is the 11th-largest employer in the area. The school district operates sixteen schools in total: ten elementary schools (grades K-6), two middle schools (grades 7-8), two high schools (grades 9-12), and one alternative high school. Council Rock is also one of four school districts participating with the Middle Bucks Institute of Technology located in Jamison, Pennsylvania. Council Rock had only one high school until the 2002-2003 academic year when they added a second high school, Council Rock High School South, to alleviate overcrowding at Council Rock High School North. Prior to 1969, the high school was located in the building used for the Newtown Middle School. Prior to that, the high school was located in a smaller building on Chancellor Street in Newtown; a building that later became Chancellor Street Elementary school before closing in 2002. The Chancellor Street school was extensively renovated and reopened as The Chancellor Center. == Schools ==
