Crooked Billet Elementary School
About Our School
Crooked Billet Elementary School is located in the northern section of the borough of Hatboro. This school building, located on fourteen partially wooded acres, was opened in 1950 and expanded to its current size in 1956. In 1987, a major renovation project completely refurbished the school.
Crooked Billet Elementary School is one of two schools in the nation built on a Revolutionary War battle site. The school was named in honor of the Battle of Crooked Billet fought on May 1, 1778. Students, staff, parents and community leaders join together each year on May 1st to celebrate the school's proud heritage.
Crooked Billet Elementary School received State and National Recognition in 1994. Schools selected for the prestigious Blue Ribbon State and National honors are recognized by the Pennsylvania and United States Department of Education for excellence in education.
In 2010, former Crooked Billet student and movie producer Scott Randolph created an acclaimed documentary highlighting the Battle of Crooked Billet and its important place in our history. As a result of his precious work, Crooked Billet Day was established as an official observance throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on May 1st annually.
During the 2010-11 academic year, Crooked Billet received the Title I Distinguished Schools award for outstanding achievement. Additionally, Crooked Billet has attained AYP status for nine consecutive years under the tenets of the No Child Left Behind Act.
