Why Flourtown is more than just about Flour?

To reduce Flourtown, PA univocally to its designation of a town is definitely a misnomer; although, the formulation of its nominal origin came about by the production of flour with its historical local mills. Contrary to what it may appear as agrarian in nature, the place is census-designated, meaning that it is bound by the demographic and statistical delineation of data by the Census Bureau. This further means that its urbanity is more than its surrounding towns, Erdenheim, for example. It can be statistically measured since it has, ironically with its urban status, a definitive population concentration in terms of residency. It is in this statistical measurability that we dispel the seemingly stereotype of its being just a flour-town, a playful way to put its metaphorical agricultural connotation with its name.

In every 14 students, there is 1 teacher, compared to the average national statistic of having 16 students for every teacher. There is a single public school for elementary, the Springfield Township Elementary School-Erdenheim, ranking 7th in test rating and 4 private schools for the next stages, although St. Genevieve, a private school, also accommodates elementary education. The Mount St. Joseph Academy is the only high school in the place.
