Spring-Ford Area School District

The Spring-Ford Area School District is a K-12 school district based in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States, and expands into Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Spring-Ford Area School District came into being when Royersford School District and Spring City School District merged in 1956. The district's name is taken from the "Spring" in Spring City and the "Ford" from Royersford. The district serves the residents of the Boroughs of Royersford and Spring City, and the Townships of Limerick and Upper Providence. Many of the postal addresses within the district (including that of the school district's main office itself) do not reflect the municipal borders, and may have addresses in Oaks, Pennsylvania; Mont Clare, Pennsylvania (both villages in Upper Providence); Linfield, Pennsylvania (a village in Limerick); Collegeville, Pennsylvania; Phoenixville, Pennsylvania; Pottstown, Pennsylvania; or Schwenksville, Pennsylvania as well.

During the 2006-2007 school year, the district had an average daily membership of 7,298.967 pupils (including Pre-K), making it the third largest school district in Montgomery County, behind Abington School District and North Penn School District.
