Friendship El Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Southern York County SD school district, located in Glen Rock, PA with about 461 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
