School Overview

Throop is a small borough tucked just outside Scranton, where tight-knit community roots run deep and most families have known each other for generations. Mid Valley Elementary Center serves that close community feel well, though families who prioritize top academic performance may want to weigh the school's scores — which fall in the lower quarter statewide — alongside the strong sense of local belonging the area offers. It's a good fit for families planting roots in a working-class northeastern Pennsylvania community where neighbors look out for one another, and who are prepared to supplement academics at home or through outside resources.
