This district serves students in eastern Cumberland County and northern York County. It serves the municipalities of Lemoyne, New Cumberland and Wormleysburg boroughs and Lower Allen Township in Cumberland County; Goldsboro and Lewisberry boroughs, Fairview Township and Newberry Township in York County.

Mount Zion Elementary School was a grade k-2 school located in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, Fairview Township. After completing second grade, students would continue to third grade at Fairview Elementary School.

In January 2012, the members of the school board proposed the closure of Mount Zion Elementary School, to help save the district's budget. In spring 2012, the final vote was made to close Mount Zion after the end of the school year. Since its close, the district temporarily placed its students and incoming students of that area to other elementary schools in the district, until expansions at Fairview Elementary School were complete. Fairview Elementary School currently serves as a k-5 elementary school, but will become an intermediate school for grades 5 and 6 in Fall 2024.[11]

The West Shore School Board voted unanimously to close Lemoyne Middle School in June 2013 to deal with budget constraints. The initial decision was to close either Lemoyne Middle School or New Cumberland Middle School. Students were reassigned to the remaining 3 middle schools in the district.[12]

Lower Allen Elementary School

Lower Allen Elementary was a grade k-2 school located in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Lower Allen Township. After completing second grade, students would continue to Rossmoyne Elementary School.

Following the completion of the new Rossmoyne Elementary School build, Lower Allen Elementary would be closed in 2021.

Fairview elementary school

Fairview elementary is a k-5 school located in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, Fairview Township. In November 2022, the school district voted to close Fairview once the intermediate schools open in fall 2024 due to budget restraints.
