School Overview

Old Forge is a tight-knit borough just outside Scranton with a strong blue-collar identity and genuine community pride — the kind of place where Friday night sports still bring the whole town together. Old Forge JSHS reflects that same close community feel, and its science scores in particular stand out, reaching the 75th percentile statewide. Families who value a smaller school environment where kids aren't just a number, and who want access to the Greater Scranton area without the bustle of city living, will find a lot to like here.
