Original Research by School Decision on Conrad Weiser Hs
Conrad Weiser HS is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in Robesonia, a small Pennsylvania Dutch-country borough in western Berks County. The school sits on a campus-style site outside the borough in the Heidelberg and Womelsdorf area, meaning families commute to the school rather than walking from town.
The enrollment is modest for a high school, spread evenly across the four grades. About two-fifths of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a working-class and mixed-income student body. The student population is predominantly white, with a sizable Hispanic population comprising roughly one-sixth of the school, and smaller Asian and Black populations. Data on the school's English learner and special education enrollment rates were not available.
State assessment data for Conrad Weiser HS were not provided, so the school's proficiency results in math, reading, and science cannot be reported here. Similarly, a four-year graduation rate was not available in the data received. Without those measures, a reader cannot assess academic achievement or completion outcomes at this school against state or district benchmarks. A parent may want to request this information directly from the school or the Conrad Weiser Area School District.
The broader context matters for families considering a move to the area. Robesonia itself is a quiet residential borough with a laid-back small-town character, anchored by local civic life at the park, community pool, and library rather than a busy commercial center. The housing market in the zip code around Robesonia shows modest property values with a slight upward trend, and new construction aimed at older buyers and move-up families is active on the borough edges. The area economy includes food distribution, manufacturing, and tool production as major employers.
A significant consideration for families is the district's tax environment. The Conrad Weiser Area School District approved substantial property tax increases in consecutive budget years, with a notable increase for the 2024-25 school year followed by additional rate hikes across both Berks and Lancaster County portions of the district in the 2025-26 budget. These compounding increases represent a lasting cost that families should weigh when evaluating relocation.
The school itself offers no program or staffing details in the available data, so information about course breadth, career pathways, arts and athletics, or student support services is not present here. A parent interested in those specifics should contact the school directly.
