Bear Creek Community CS

Tucked into the Pocono-adjacent landscape of Bear Creek Township in Luzerne County, Bear Creek Community Charter School draws families who want a smaller, community-rooted alternative to traditional public schools in the greater Wilkes-Barre area. Academic performance sits around the middle of the pack statewide, with science showing the most relative strength, making it a reasonable fit for families prioritizing a tight-knit environment over top-tier test scores. The surrounding area offers a quieter, semi-rural feel with easy access to the outdoor recreation the Pocono region is known for — a lifestyle that tends to appeal to families looking for a slower pace without straying too far from northeastern Pennsylvania's urban centers.
