School Overview

Old Forge is a tight-knit borough just outside Scranton, the kind of place where families have deep roots and neighbors know each other by name. Old Forge Elementary sits in the heart of that community, and while its academic scores land in the middle of the pack statewide, its science scores show some real strength worth noting. Families drawn to small-town stability and a close community feel — rather than a high-pressure academic environment — tend to find a comfortable fit here.
