About schools in Luzerne County
The Susquehanna River valley and the ridgelines above it shape daily life across Luzerne County, and that same geography shows up in how its schools are distributed — 13 districts spread across former coal towns, suburban townships, and rural stretches, serving 49 ranked public schools in all. Academic performance varies considerably across this landscape, with only two schools reaching the top quartile statewide. Dallas Intermediate School leads the county at the 81st percentile, followed closely by Lake-Lehman JSHS in Lehman at the 77th. Families in the Dallas and Lake-Lehman districts will find the most consistent academic profiles; elsewhere, results are more mixed.
