School Overview

Carbondale is a small, working-class city tucked into the northeastern corner of Lackawanna County, about 20 miles north of Scranton, with a tight-knit community feel that comes from generations of families putting down roots here. Carbondale Elementary serves a student body that faces real economic challenges, and families considering the school should know that test scores currently rank in the lower range statewide — something worth weighing alongside other factors like class size, staff relationships, and the close community bonds that smaller districts often foster. For families already living in the area, understanding where the school stands academically can help with conversations about extra support or enrichment opportunities outside the classroom.
