Schools in Elk Lake SD · Susquehanna County

Montrose serves as the county seat, but some of Susquehanna County's strongest academic performers are found in smaller, more rural corners — Mountain View JSHS in Kingsley ranks at the 79th percentile statewide, and Choconut Valley Elementary in Friendsville reaches the 76th. Spread across six districts and 14 ranked public schools, this largely rural stretch of northeastern Pennsylvania offers modest scale with genuine pockets of strength. English and math scores vary across the county, but two schools landing in the state's top quartile signals that distance from urban centers doesn't preclude solid achievement.
