School Overview

Mid Valley Secondary Center sits in Throop, a small borough tucked just outside Scranton in the kind of tight-knit corner of Northeastern Pennsylvania where everyone knows everyone. The school punches above its weight in English and Science, making it a solid choice for families who want a well-rounded education without the pressure of a highly competitive suburban district. If you're drawn to the authenticity of small-town Lackawanna County life — close to Scranton's amenities but with a quieter, more community-rooted feel — Mid Valley is worth a serious look.
