The Conrad Weiser Area School District is located in western Berks County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. A tiny portion extends into Lancaster County. This district serves South Heidelberg Township, Heidelberg Township, North Heidelberg Township and Marion Township and the Boroughs of Wernersville, Robesonia and Womelsdorf.[1] Eight properties in a housing development in West Cocalico in Lancaster County also attend the district's schools. The district encompasses approximately 100 square miles (260 km2). According to 2000 federal census data, it serves a resident population of 23,777. By 2010, the district's population declined to 19,303 people.[2] In 2009, Conrad Weiser Area School District residents’ per capita income was $22,732, while the median family income was $57,488.[3] In the Commonwealth, the median family income was $49,501 [4] and the United States median family income was $49,445, in 2010.[5]
In the 1980s, a small group of Lancaster County property owners in the Cocalico School District were successful in seceding from the district. They formed a small district called Squire Hill Independent School District. The new District was short lived merging with Conrad Weiser Area School District.
Conrad Weiser Area School District operates four schools: Conrad Weiser High School (9th–12th), Conrad Weiser Middle School (5th–8th), Conrad Weiser East Elementary School (K-4th) and Conrad Weiser West Elementary School (K-4th).
The district is named for Conrad Weiser, an important Pennsylvanian in colonial days, especially known as an interpreter and emissary in councils between Native Americans and the colonies, especially Pennsylvania.
