==Education== [[Image:Map of Columbia County Pennsylvania School Districts.png|300 px|thumb|right|Map of Columbia County, Pennsylvania School Districts, with Central Columbia School District in blue in the center of the county.]] The area's local school district is the [[Central Columbia School District]]. It serves about 2,100 students and features three academic buildings and one administration building. Students are divided into the Elementary School (grades K through 4), Middle School (grades 5 through 8) and the High School (grades 9 through 12). According to the 2003 data collected by [[Standard & Poor's]], 18.4% of students are economically disadvantaged, 13.1% receive special education services and 71.1% of students pass the state-mandated testing. The district spends about $6,999 per student.<ref>[http://www.schoolmatters.com/app/location/q/stid=39/llid=116/stllid=151/locid=953373/stype=/catid=-1/secid=-1/compid=-1/site=pes Central Columbia School District report] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927213715/http://www.schoolmatters.com/app/location/q/stid%3D39/llid%3D116/stllid%3D151/locid%3D953373/stype%3D/catid%3D-1/secid%3D-1/compid%3D-1/site%3Dpes |date=September 27, 2007 }}, School Matters, Standard & Poors 2003, 2005.</ref> In 2007, the [[Pittsburgh Business Times]] ranked the district 146th out of 499 Pennsylvania school districts based on three years of Pennsylvania System of Student Assessment test scores.<ref>Blacklidge, Karen, Valley schools all over the Chart, The Daily Item, June 6, 2007. {{cite web |url=http://www.dailyitem.com/archivesearch/local_story_163000144.html |title=Valley schools all over the chart Β» News Β» the Daily Item, Sunbury, PA |access-date=October 15, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120730185317/http://www.dailyitem.com/archivesearch/local_story_163000144.html |archive-date=July 30, 2012 }}</ref> {{As of|2006}} the Middle School was under construction.

It was expected to be near completion by the beginning of the 2007β08 school year.
