School Overview

Bethlehem is a city with a lot of character — former steel town turned arts and culture hub along the Lehigh Valley — and East Hills Middle School sits in that working-class, tight-knit north side community. The school's academic scores land in the mid-to-lower range statewide, so families with strong academic priorities may want to look closely at the supports available and how the school is trending. That said, Bethlehem Area is a large, diverse district with real resources, and families who value a multicultural environment and community connection over pure test performance may find it a comfortable fit.
