McAdoo-Kelayres Elementary/Middle School

McAdoo-Kelayres is a small K-8 school tucked into the quiet coal-region borough of McAdoo, a tight-knit community in the hills of Luzerne County where neighbors still know each other by name. The school faces real academic challenges, with test scores that rank in the lower tier statewide, so families who are considering it will want to think carefully about supplementing at home or exploring additional resources. That said, for families already rooted in this part of the Hazleton area, it's a close-to-home option in a community with a strong sense of local pride and working-class grit.
