If school district is driving your home search in Delaware County (and for most families it is), the Springfield School District deserves a close look. It covers Springfield Township and Morton Borough, spans about 7 square miles, and consistently ranks among the top public school districts in the region. Homes here move fast, and buyers who know the market tend to win. I live in Springfield, coach youth sports with the Springfield Athletic Association, and know this district and its neighborhoods as well as anyone. When you are ready to look, I am ready to help.
Springfield School District covers Springfield Township and Morton Borough and runs five schools for just over 4,400 students. The short version on quality: it lands in the top 15 in Pennsylvania on every ranking I trust, including 10th of 606 districts on SchoolDigger and 14th on the Philadelphia Business Journal's assessment-based list, and Niche gives it an A with an A+ for teachers. I wrote up the full breakdown, including how it stacks up against Radnor, Rose Tree Media, and Haverford, in Springfield School District PA: Rankings, Neighborhoods, and What Homes Actually Cost. This page is the other half of the question: where in the district to buy.
Kids start at the Springfield Literacy Center for kindergarten and first grade, split between Sabold and Scenic Hills for grades 2 through 5 based on their address, then come back together at E.T. Richardson Middle School and Springfield High. That elementary split matters to some families, so check the feeder school for a specific address before you write an offer.
Two municipalities feed the district, and they shop very differently. Springfield Township is most of the district and most of the inventory: detached singles on real yards, with a handful of neighborhoods buyers ask for by name. Morton Borough is the smaller, denser way in.
Inventory is the story here, and it has been for years. Families buy into Springfield for the schools and then stay well past graduation, so not much comes up, and a well-priced listing usually draws more than one offer. The buyers who win here are fully pre-approved before they tour and ready to move the week a house lists. Sellers have the leverage, but an overpriced house still sits, even in this district.
For current listings and recent sales, see my market reports for Springfield and Morton. They pull straight from BrightMLS, so the numbers stay current in a way a written page can't.
For the countywide picture (mortgage rates, how fast homes are selling, and where prices are heading), see my Delaware County housing market update. I refresh it every quarter.
School taxes are the biggest piece of a Delaware County property tax bill, and the Springfield School District rate is a big part of what you'll pay here. My Delaware County property tax guide explains how the bill is built, how the homestead exclusion works, and how to appeal an assessment.
The Springfield School District serves Springfield Township and Morton Borough in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
Yes, consistently. It ranks 10th out of 606 Pennsylvania school districts on SchoolDigger, 14th in the state on the Philadelphia Business Journal's assessment-based rankings, and earns an overall A from Niche with an A+ for teacher quality.
The district has two elementary schools for grades 2 through 5: Sabold Elementary and Scenic Hills Elementary. Kindergarten and first grade are served at the Springfield Literacy Center.
The entry point is Morton Borough and the township's smaller twins and capes, most sales are Colonials and split-levels in neighborhoods like Rolling Green and Stoney Creek, and the top end is larger homes in Scenic Hills. For current numbers, my market reports for Springfield and Morton have live listings and recent sales.
Springfield Township is approximately 12-15 miles from Center City Philadelphia, with typical drive times of 20-30 minutes. SEPTA Regional Rail access is available at Morton and Swarthmore stations on the Media/Wawa Line.
I have lived in Springfield for years, coached youth athletes here, and watched this market from the inside. Whether you are buying your first home, making a move-up play to land in the district before next school year, or thinking about selling, I can help you navigate the process and find the right fit.
