School Overview

Freeland is a small, tight-knit former coal town in the mountains of Luzerne County, and the elementary/middle school here reflects that hardworking, community-rooted spirit. Families who value a close community where teachers know their kids by name will feel at home here, even as the school faces the academic challenges common to many rural Pennsylvania towns navigating economic change. For families settling into the area, Freeland offers affordable living and a genuine small-town feel, and there are pockets of strength — particularly in math — that suggest real effort is being made to move the needle for students.
