Schools in Bangor Area SD · Northampton County

Bethlehem and Easton anchor Northampton County's public school landscape, but some of the county's strongest academic performers are found in the smaller communities surrounding them. Across 12 districts and 62 ranked schools, the county spans from urban corridors to rural townships — and that geographic spread matters when evaluating options. Eleven schools rank in Pennsylvania's top quartile, with Lower Nazareth Elementary School leading the county at the 94th percentile statewide and Williams Township Elementary School, outside Easton, close behind at the 87th. Families willing to look beyond the larger cities will find a genuinely competitive range of public schools throughout the region.
