School Overview

Hazleton Elementary/Middle School serves a community that has seen significant change over the years, with Hazleton itself being one of Pennsylvania's more diverse small cities — a place where longtime residents and newer immigrant families have built something genuinely unique in the heart of the Pocono foothills. Academics here are a work in progress, and families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their child's education will likely get the most out of what the school offers. For families already rooted in the Hazleton community, or those drawn to its affordable cost of living and tight-knit neighborhoods, this school reflects the real texture of the city it serves.
