School Overview

Nestled in the small river town of Lehighton in Carbon County, this elementary school serves a tight-knit community where many families have roots going back generations. Academics here are developing, and families who get involved tend to make a real difference in their kids' experience. The area offers an affordable, small-town pace with the Pocono Mountains and the Lehigh River nearby — a good fit for families who value outdoor life and a slower, community-rooted upbringing over suburban hustle.
