About PennsylvaniaSchools.us
Your comprehensive resource for Pennsylvania's K-12 education system.
Welcome to PennsylvaniaSchools.us, your dedicated resource for Pennsylvania K-12 education data. We track and analyze data for all 500+ school districts and over 3,200+ schools across the Keystone State. From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, our goal is to provide parents with the most accurate schedules.
Our Mission: Simplifying School Data
We know that official district PDF files can be hard to read on mobile. That's why we've developed a custom 2-page calendar format specifically for Pennsylvania families:
Page 1: A clean, visual grid of the academic year.
Page 2: A detailed text breakdown of holidays, teacher workdays, and Act 80 Days.
What Makes Us Different?
While many websites simply scrape data, we add a human touch to everything we publish:
Deep District Insights
From direct links to official social media channels to verified contact information, we provide a 360-degree view of every school district in Pennsylvania.
Comprehensive School Profiles
We go beyond the basics, offering detailed demographic data, interactive maps, performance metrics, and essential school information to help you understand your local educational environment in Pennsylvania.
Optimized PDF Calendars
We don't just link to official files. Our team creates custom, high-quality 2-page PDF calendars. Page one features a clean, visual grid; page two provides a concise text breakdown of holidays, half days, Act 80 Days, and important academic periods specific to Pennsylvania.

Data Accuracy & Transparency

Why We Started
It started with a simple frustration: trying to find a clear, printable school calendar that actually looked good on a fridge. We realized that if we struggled with it, thousands of other Pennsylvania parents did too. Today, we manage a network of sites dedicated to making school information accessible to everyone.

Dmytro Gorshenin
Founder & Lead Engineer
With 15+ years of software engineering and cloud architecture experience, I've built systems at scale across multiple industries. As a parent, I hit the same wall every family hits: trying to find clean, accurate public school data and calendars without wading through outdated PDFs and fragmented district websites. That frustration became the blueprint for this platform — an automated system purpose-built to solve that exact problem for families and real estate professionals who need reliable, up-to-date school information.
The proprietary data pipeline behind PennsylvaniaSchools.us automates the aggregation of complex public data, school district boundaries, and custom-designed high-quality PDF calendars. Every record is processed with precision so that what you see here reflects the actual source of truth — not a stale scrape — ensuring transparency from data source to your screen.
