Heights/Murray Elementary School

Heights/Murray Elementary sits in Wilkes-Barre, a working-class city in the Wyoming Valley that's seen its share of economic ups and downs but holds a tight-knit, proud community spirit. The school serves a neighborhood where families are deeply rooted, and while academic scores reflect some of the broader challenges facing the district, there's a real sense of community investment here. Families who are hands-on and engaged with their children's learning, and who value being part of a close community rather than a more affluent suburban setting, will find a school where that involvement can make a meaningful difference.
