School Overview

Tucked away in the rural Upper Delaware River region of Wayne County, Damascus Area School serves a tight-knit community where small class sizes and a genuine sense of belonging are part of everyday life. The school punches well above its size with particularly strong science scores, making it a solid choice for families who want a quality education without the noise of a larger district. If you're drawn to a slower pace of life — think farmland, river access, and a community where everyone knows your name — Damascus offers exactly that kind of grounded, small-town schooling experience.
