Council Rock School District Homes for Sale

The Council Rock School District serves five Bucks County municipalities: Newtown Borough and Newtown, Northampton, Upper Makefield and Wrightstown Townships. That includes homes with Newtown, Holland, Richboro, Churchville, Washington Crossing and Wrightstown mailing addresses. Mailing addresses do not always follow district lines, so confirm the school district on the property record before you buy.

Council Rock has 10 elementary schools for kindergarten through 6th grade, two middle schools for grades 7 and 8 (Holland and Newtown Middle Schools) and two high schools for grades 9 through 12 (Council Rock High School North in Newtown and Council Rock High School South in Holland).

Niche gives the Council Rock School District an overall grade of A in its 2027 rankings, where it ranks #36 of 495 districts in Pennsylvania and #3 in Bucks County. Ratings change from year to year, so check the latest Niche and Pennsylvania Department of Education data for current figures.

Council Rock High School North, on Swamp Road in Newtown, and Council Rock High School South, in Holland, each serve different parts of the district. Assignments are based on the home's address and can change, so confirm with the district before making an offer.

Property taxes in the Council Rock School District are set by Bucks County, the municipality and the school district, which makes up most of the bill. The yearly tax is the assessed value times the combined millage, and one mill is $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value. On the Bucks County 2026 millage chart, the combined rate is 204.8692 mills in Newtown Borough, 196.7342 mills in Newtown Township, 214.8692 mills in Northampton Township, 186.0692 mills in Upper Makefield Township and 193.1192 mills in Wrightstown Township, so a home assessed at $50,000 would owe about $10,243 in Newtown Borough, $9,837 in Newtown Township, $10,743 in Northampton Township, $9,303 in Upper Makefield Township and $9,656 in Wrightstown Township a year before any homestead exclusion. Bucks County assessed values are far below market prices, so check the county property record for a home's assessment and most recent tax bill.
