Court approves sale of Quakertown district land
A county court on Wednesday approved Quakertown Community School District’s plan to sell 127 acres to a national developer. The district sought $7.8 million for the three parcels on West Pumping Station Road, land it acquired in 2015 for $1.75 million for a future elementary and middle school. The district claims it no longer needs the land because enrollment is stagnant. District data from 2017 to 2024 bear that out, showing flat figures for kindergarten, grades 6-8 and 9-12, with overall enrollment in that period down from approximately 5,800 students to 4,707 in the current school year.
