About schools in Wayne County
Wayne County's two districts — Wayne Highlands and Western Wayne — cover a stretch of northeastern Pennsylvania that feels more like deep countryside than suburb, and the schools reflect that rural character without sacrificing academic performance. Honesdale High School ranks in the 96th percentile statewide, a remarkable result for a small-town school, while Wayne Highlands Middle School follows close behind at the 88th percentile. Damascus Area School, serving one of the county's more remote communities, holds its own at the 81st percentile. With nine ranked schools spread across just two districts, families will find the landscape consistent and genuinely competitive.
