Schools in Shikellamy SD · Northumberland County

Stretched across the rolling terrain of central Pennsylvania's coal country, Northumberland County carries the working-class character of towns like Milton, Mount Carmel, and Coal Township into its six public school districts. None of the county's 19 ranked schools reach the statewide top quartile, but Warrior Run JSHS and Line Mountain High School both land at the 66th percentile — a modest but meaningful foothold in the middle of Pennsylvania's rankings. Families relocating here will find schools that reflect a rural, post-industrial region still building academic momentum, worth a closer look before drawing conclusions.
