School Overview

Heights Terrace Elementary/Middle School serves a community that faces real economic challenges — Hazleton is a small city in the coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania that has undergone significant demographic shifts over the past few decades, and that context shapes the school's environment in meaningful ways. Families who are deeply invested in supporting their children's education will want to look closely at the academic numbers here, as performance in math and science falls in the lower single digits statewide. That said, Hazleton itself has a tight-knit, working-class character, and families who are weighing school options in the area may want to explore other campuses within the Hazleton Area district to find the best fit for their child.
