School Overview

Forty Fort is a quiet borough tucked along the Susquehanna River in the Wyoming Valley, with a small-town feel that many families find genuinely appealing — but Dana Elementary Center's academic profile sits below the mid-range for Pennsylvania schools, making it a school where families may want to stay closely involved in their child's learning. The surrounding Luzerne County area has a strong sense of regional identity and community pride, and for families who supplement at home or lean on local resources, that close-knit environment can still be a real asset. Families prioritizing stronger academic benchmarks may want to explore additional options within Wyoming Valley West or nearby districts.
